Exhausting but fun day today. saffie1981's birthday. taimatsu and greyeyedeve came to stay. Fabulous company as always, and it seems like they left all too soon. *poing*, though!

An interlude in the middle of the day was taking saffie1981 off to the Cotswold Falconry Centre for her birthday treat - one of their 'flying start' courses. I'm sure she will describe it in enthusiastic detail tomorrow, but it was a lot of fun, and I even got to have a go in between photographing it.

Photos here, a few movies to follow tomorrow, probably.

More falconry
