Like everybody else, I was looking forward to the display of birds of prey at a chateau in the Dordogne – and when it came, I enjoyed it.
But I couldn’t help wondering, as I mooched about with my camera before showtime, what the birds themselves might think about it.

This is a sea eagle – whose feathers are black and white to begin with – taken at a display of birds of prey in the Dordogne.

Not exactly a swarm, or a particularly technically adept photograph, but an interesting story.
The two men in the microlight are researching the habits of these geese. For about two weeks, weather permitting, they would fly over our house early in the morning. As time went on, they attracted more and more birds to fly along with them.
Haven’t seen them for a while: they must have gone south for the winter.
