Harris Hawk

The following shots of a Harris Hawk were taken at the Raptor World Bird of Prey centre which is located within the Scottish Deer centre near Cupar in Fife.  If you do happen to cross paths with this impressive raptor then it is likely an escapee from captivity as they are normally resident in the USA and South America.  The in-flight shots are of the Hawk attempting to catch its food.

Warkworth Castle, Northumberland

Here are a few shots of Warkworth Castle, a 12th century medieval ruin located on a hill above the river Coquet in Northumberland.  Once home to the powerful Percy family, who now reside not too far away in Alnwick Castle, Warkworth is one of the largest and most impressive fortresses in North East England.   It was once home to ‘Harry Hotspur’, a valiant and significant knight of the Anglo-Scottish wars of the day.  Unfortunately the castle was not open during our visit so an amble around the exterior was the best we could do.
