Red tommy! And some lovely birds

Exciting times, look what I spotted today in the greenhouse! 

I think I might eat it tomorrow. 

Today we went to the Welsh Hawking Centre, near to Barry, so just up the road from our house. It is a great place, and has some amazing birds. Massive owls!

And lots of geese and chickens and rabbits running about:

But best of all are the flying displays, at 12 and 2.30pm every day. We met two kites and my favourite, a 7 week old merlin. They flew effortlessly over our heads, and sat right by us. Amazing creatures!
