Birds of Prey
Here you go folks, taken yesterday, no they aint stuffed 
they belong to a local falkoner, you can hold them on your arm or the smaller ones you can have perched on your shoulder, the guy has an instant camera to take your pic if you wish.
Golden Eagle.
A Kite, I think.
An small Owl,
Another bigger Owl.
It took me hours to do these, the background was awfull, I had to painstakenly pain it out, I was down to 2 pixels on the paintbrush to keep the feather details.

Thanks Phil, do you remember the sods that poisoned the Eagle in the borders in August, I spoke to the guy about it and he said they still aint got anyone for it, how could anyone poison a magnificent bird like the top one.

Yes I do remember. They are a bit worried about the white tailed sea eagles which they have released in our Glen as they are quite a threat to livestock.
