Warwick, England

Home Up

I left Oxford for a week or so and went out to Stratford-upon-avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare.  While I was out there I visited Warwick castle for half the day.  The castle is in pretty good shape with lots of things to see and shows to watch.

When I got to Warwick there was a falconer doing a demonstration.  This photo is of a bald eagle after the show taking a little bath.  I also think it's a little pissed off that I sat there trying to get it's attention for the photo.

Hmmm, now that I think about it, all the birds were pretty grumpy for some reason.  Maybe they were upset they had to perform that weekend.  This is a hawk.. looks upset as well.

At Warwick castle you get to climb around on the walls and in the towers.  I climbed on of the open tower and took this picture into courtyard.

Down in the bowels of Warwick I caught these two guys doing something I really enjoy! For some reason they wouldn't let me participate, d'oh!
