Raptor Foundation


A weekend of cleaning for the old folk, although little M was busy, birthday party and 'International Thinking Day' - a girl guides thing on Saturday. Went over to Ben and Maggie's on Saturday evening for dinner. R had a horrendous hangover on Sunday morning for which he got absolutely no sympathy from M, so we went out the the Raptor Foundation at St Ives. This is mostly a bird rescue centre but they have a number of birds just for display...an awful lot of eagle owls which look they could eat a small child! Volounteers were helping the kids make bird boxes (so of course we now have 2 bird boxes!) They have a very interactive flying display and we all got to hold an owl. Back to school on Monday...

What fun. N & I have been reading Flight of the Falcon. We have been looking into the raptors and hawking in the C11th, particularly Merlins(as they were the raptors that noblewomen could own). J
