Hubby had intended to surprise me and take me to Batsford Arboretum yesterday afternoon but unfortunately his conference call took longer than intended and when we arrived it was damp, cold and getting dark. It was too late for a nice long walk around the woods, however it was not too late for a quick look in at the Cotswold Falconry Centre. My photography is not very good and I think this must simply be because I was feeling so cold.

I love this, a Bengal Eagle Owl with rather fluffy britches.

A pair of Tawny Owls, these are my favourite Owls because of their hauntingly beautiful calls.

A Snowy Owl, who seemed quite comedic.

A barn Owl.

A Great Grey Owl.
