Falconry

Adventures before breakfast: figuring out that the paper with our code to the back gate of the inn (that we needed last night) was actually our breakfast coupon for today. 😅 Homemade granola with Greek yogurt and honey. Joe's eggs on toast were orangey yellow - fresh!

The Falconry Centre was 1.5 miles from town, across a few sheep pastures. Think All Creatures Great and Small, except the sheep had neon blue and green markings. A gorgeous walk in the sunshine (for the most part - there was one surprise shower).

The falconry centre had 150 owls, buzzards, eagles, kites, falcons . . . All kinds of raptors! We caught 2 of the demonstrations, in which we were able to see a variety of birds. Apparently, the birds figure out right quick that if they come back to the trainer, they get fed; apparently, the hard part is getting them to fly away!

Grabbed a quick snack of apples and nuts, and headed back to pick up our luggage and catch the bus to the town we start from: Chipping Campden. Missed the mid-afternoon bus, so now we are waiting for the 5:25pm at the bus stop that is ACROSS from our unmarked actual stop. Got to talk with some other travelers. This seems to be walkers' paradise!
