Today, as the sun was shining, we decided to visit Thorp Perrow Arboretum and Birds of Prey Centre in Bedale near Ripon. The Autumn colours were beautiful and the leaves were crisp and dry on the ground.

In the afternoon there was a Birds of Prey display where we saw a hawk, an owl and a kestrel in free flight. Alan volunteered to hold the owl which weighed about the same as two bags of sugar.
