Peckforton Castle, Cheshire

Over the course of a few days, we came across Peckforton Castle, Cheshire quite by accident...but it was a beautiful spot with equally beautiful grounds. Imagine my surprise when we came across these birds of prey, although some were tethered, they seemed to enjoy the attention. We then watched as they were let go to show off their hunting skills, unfortunately the dull skies did not produce good flight shots...oh well, always another day. I took the image of the Peacock as we were walking back to the car. Altogether it was a lovely place to visit, and better weather than was predicted.
