Father’s Birthday

For Norman’s birthday, his wife Hilary planned a remarkable surprise—an unforgettable experience the family was lucky enough to share. It was an adventure filled with wonder and pure joy, and what began as a simple birthday celebration quickly became a day we’ll be talking about for years.

Wrapped up against the cold and blustery winds, we found ourselves deep in the Hertfordshire countryside, with Roxanne and her extraordinary feathered companions. From the first outstretched wings to the rush of air as the birds swooped gracefully overhead, the day was filled with moments that stopped us in our tracks.

Despite the chill, hours flew by as we learned about her birds of prey. We watched these magnificent birds in action, and even had the thrill of flying them ourselves. There’s something truly humbling about standing still while a bird of prey locks eyes with you, then launches into the sky with effortless power and precision.

Many memories were created and some have been captured here.

Enjoy….
