Went to the above. It's a great place for a few hours on a nice sunny day. Not a massive place, and forget the deer park, unless you own the Bigma. The bird garden contains some beautiful specimens though. A lot are in cages and the wire presents some difficulty when shooting. I took the Sigma 70-200 F2.8 out, and used manual focus a lot of the time.

Shot through the wire.

A very elegant stork, or crane?

Really is quite a sharp lens at around F4 the sigma.

Lovely creatures, the owl in flight is gorgeous. Have been a few times to falconry centers, and although I don't agree with captive animals, I think it is generally of benefit to the birds. Awareness is raised and it presents and excellent opportunity to see these magnificent birds close up.
