• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Mumbles

It's quite amazing what a mobile phone camera can do these days. With my phone held in my right hand, I managed to get this shot of a (captive-bred, obviously) Indian Eagle Owl just about to land on my left hand:

(the owl's called "Mumbles" in case you were wondering about the thread title).

A wonderful day out in North Nibley with Wren's Birds of Prey.
 
Having been on the receiving end of an Eagle-Owl's talons (Oehoe as we call them), there's no way I would dare to call him a wimp. ;) I had come too close to it's nest without realising it. It went into full attack mode to protect its off-spring. Who can blame it. Such impressive animals!
