This week's posting consists of images from a local walk and from a revisiting of Liberty's Raptor Centre, Ringwood, Hampshire, where I was seeking to sort out some IDs (of the hybrid falcons) and take some variations on previous shots.
First, then, the local walk at Stourhead, Wiltshire.

Now for the raptors:
