No ride this morning, but we (Bristol Morris Men) danced at a village fete in Chew Stoke just south of Bristol. En route I saw a peregrine swooping over the Gorge and the bottom of Bridge Valley Road: the silhouette is unmistakeable. At the fete we saw an amazing display of falconry, by Michael Davie of Churchdown Gloucester. In a small arena, surrounded by many large trees, his Lanner falcons (pictured), a Harris Hawk, and an Arabian owl entranced his audience with their flight.
