A free day. A few of us went on an “eagle experience” where we got to handle hawks and eagles, including an American bald eagle, with falconry expert Martin Whitley at his farm where the birds are kept (in some shots you can see Bovey Castle in the distance). Wearing leather gloves, we are human take-off and landing strips for these amazing creatures.
More beauty and majesty from the Founders trip….
Julie Lurie looks right at home as a falconer. Thanks again for the photos.
Thanks so much, David. I wish I could have been there. The love and respect between this man and his birds is palpable. Beautiful photos too!
