Woodlands Falconry, Rathwood Co Carlow

Could have sworn I'd posted these photos already but apparently not! About this time last year I visited The falconry in Rathwood. I managed to take some really nice photos, if I do say so myself!!
One of the photos I took that day, the one with the owl winking into my lens, is possibly one of my favourite photos that I've taken to date.
I must admit, I was a bit intimidated when I was shooting the beautiful golden eagle who appeared to be considering if I was worth attacking or not!! Thankfully he decided I wouldn't be worth his time!
Anyway here our a few of the photos from the day:

Absolutely love the colour of this guy's eyes, even if he does look a bit angry.

Speaking of looking a little bit angry!

This guy would not hold his head still for too long. Reminds me of the owl in Harry Potter though...

A shy little guy.

This is one of my favourite photos that I've taken. Absolutely love the winking eye as well as the lighting in this photo.

The feathers of this eagle look almost as if they're painted on. The eagle was fantastic at posing for the camera but I was a little scared about the way he was eyeing me up!
