The Sea Eagle Star and the Comical Owl at the Bird of Prey
Centre   As we took to our seats for the show
we saw a chap sitting on his own behind a little
pond. When he stretched his wings we could see that his left one was in a bad
way. So he sits and watches the goings-on.
 His wife came out for a star turn.
 A tasty morsel was thrown into the
pond and down she swooped.
 Just a little ripple
left.
 She landed on the
show stump with her booty.
 The audience was allowed to stand in
front but I wanted her rear view.
  Such grace.
 Time for a
stretch.
   Simple portraits.
 Time for a
strut.
     Enjoying her
morsel.
 After the show we could get up close and personal to her.
 Powerful
feet.
   A lovely bird to get so
close to.
 Out came the Cape Eagle Owl.
  He
strutted his stuff........
  ......and had a good look about.
  Then he had us all in
fits – shame really, he knew there was a treat in the hand for him, but up close
Mr Magoo springs to mind. He could smell it but
couldn’t see it. He pecked about (gently) but to no
avail.
 Then he kind of shrugged......
   .....and went in search of a treat.
  Flying in and landing, he got his
reward.
 Lovely.
  We left the Bird of Prey Centre and
fulfilled a promise, if the boys behaved patiently, we would go to taste beer at
the Drakensberg Brewery. Soon settled, the boys were
keen to ‘get to it’.
 The four
beers.
 Their
write-up.
 Boys now smiling,
Kimi diving in.
    The food was
wonderful. I stuck to rose wine but thoroughly enjoyed the taste of the
stout. The other three discussed the beers and had a bigger helpings of their
favourites. Then we took in the little parade of shops, bought local chocolate
and returned to our digs to sit by the pool and absorb the amazing view – with a
few sherbets, of course.....
ALL IN ALL SIMPLY
GORGEOUS
A FANTASTIC
