Hello again,
Sorry been a bit slow on the updates, just back from a stunning week on Kangaroo Island South Australia, a highlight while there was having another visit back to Raptor Domain, such a fantastic way to get close and personal with these stunning birds.
All the staff are so helpful and the knowledge and information shared add to a truly wonderful experience, cannot rate a visit high enough
Here are just a few images from many that were captured on the day, even I can capture a BIF shot here!
Hope you enjoy them….
