Thorp Perrow part two

Now for the Birds of Prey. The first birds are Crested Caracara and I quote “it looks like a hawk with its sharp beak and talons, behaves like a vulture, and is technically a large black-and-white falcon”. It is a bird of the southern USA and can also be found in parts of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. There are two at Thorp Perrow and as soon as the handler came out to fly them, they were at the bottom of the cage waiting to be released it looked like they just wanted to perform. As with all Bird of Prey centres there are people and cages so in all three parts to this Blog, I have tried to select images without too much of a distracting background.
