Tonight we were very lucky enough to be allowed entry to the Welsh Hawking Centre after hours, for our Digital Photography Class. The Welsh Hawking Centre is a hawking centre on Weycock Road on the northwestern outskirts of Barry, Vale of Glamorgan. It contains the largest collection of birds of prey in Wales, with over 200 birds on site including eagles, owls, hawks, falcons and buzzards.
They allowed us to see the birds in their huts, and several of them were put on display in the grounds for us. We were able to take some close up shots of the birds and then walk around the centre looking at all the other exhibits. The grounds are beautifully kept and well looked after, and there is a huge variety of birds to see. Several types of falcons, owls, vultures, geese, the list goes on.
We spent a good hour and a half walking around the centre, and took loads of photographs. I took about 200 myself! To see the whole gallery of photographs that I took last night, click here! I must remember to send a set of the pictures to the centre, to thank them for their kindness.
Next week we are back in the computer room, where we will compare our photographs and see what everyone has taken!
