As part our recent holiday to Sligo we went to the IRISH RAPTOR RESEARCH CENTRE; and we had a great time watching and looking at the eagles, hawks, owls and vultures – some of whom are massive.

One of the things I have always wanted to do is hold a raptor – and this centre allows you to do this. I had the fun of having a piece of meat in my hand and have the raptor fly to it. The following picture was taken then:

We all had a fantastic time at the centre and we plan to go back – please visit and support this privately funded research centre because its a great afternoon out and deserves our support.
