So I just found out late yesterday that EOS Magazine ... you know the one that runs this forum ... was having an open day at their HQ in North Oxfordshire in celebration of being 21.
As it's not that far I thought I'd go along and see what there was to be seen. I was also keen to take them up on the offer of printing a panorama (for a small fee).
Thanks to Robert (who I didn't get around to having a chat with) and staff for putting this on, particularly David who gave excellent advice on printing & printed out my Dolomite panorama (posted in the Pano area on here last year). Also listening to the chap who brought along the birds of prey was very interesting - any mistakes on names, speed etc etc is entirely mine.
The whole set is here EOS Magazine Open day on flickr but these are a few highlights.

Now for the creature shots - these are all heavily cropped as I didn't think to take a zoom and they are all shot with the EF24-105L.
4 Royal Python - I got the eye in focus (I think) but I don't really have a clue how to take this kind of shot. The lady who displayed this also had a centipede, tarantula, lizard and a couple of geckos.

5 Owl (not sure of type - Long Eared perhaps?)

6 Peregrin Falcon by the name of Wiggo and still a youngster. Been clocked at 180mph which is good going for a boy racer.

7 Barn Owl

There was also a Red Kite and a Kestrel but without a longer lens I can't say I'm that happy with them so although they are on the flickr album I won't post them here.
