Been down the woods and met a local guy with an unusual pet... He let me follow him around with my A200.

Nah, Harris Hawk. Still stunning. He even let me have the glove on and have her come to me while I had the camera in my other hand.

They're surprisingly light, and don't grip your hand nearly as much as I thought they did.

Nah, the owner next to me. Though there was MANY a shot where it almost did. It actually flew past my head and tapped me on my head with it's wing.

# that tap on the head was hawk speak for "next time you get the talons!"
nice pics, I live in the country so see a lot of buzzrds, kestrals and sparrow hawks.

haha probably, it did keep flying perilously close...

Considering the guy has lived local to me for years I'm surprised this is the first time I've ever seen him with her.

There was some dude walking round my local high street a few months back with a big fuck off parrot on his arm.
