NZ Falcon – Karearea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After our successful visit yesterday, Edin and I again headed back to Wingspan this afternoon. Being a bit of a dreary Monday we were the only visitors but\u00a0Andrew and David put on a fantastic display for us, being able to focus on the flying rather than the educational presentation they usually have to combine with the show. We were able to chat to them about all sorts of interesting facts about the birds and see them work Bindy with two falconers, coming onto one lure and then the next. I have piles of files to work through with some nice graphic images on white that I am going to enjoy processing. Look out for these in future blog posts.<\/p>\n
