Some months ago I visited the Royal Armoury in Leeds where I took pictures of owls and other wild birds. Those birds actually come from the falconry at the Thorp Perrow Arboretum. We paid to enter the Arboretum and the entrance fee also covered visiting the falconry. I know this is a gardening website but I wanted to share some of the photographs of the birds with you. While the falcons and hawks are impressive, it is always the extraordinary beauty of the owls which draws me.
