eagles, falcons and a castle.

Today I spent the day at Corfe Castle in Dorset. It is one of my favourite places to visit and is such an interesting place to explore! Today they had a falconry display on as a special event by the National Trust. It was incredible to see such amazing birds of prey close up. It was the first time that I had seen a golden eagle which was absolutely amazing! Here are a few photos from my day at Corfe Castle.
