The news story here during the week warning pilots around Glasgow Airport to be on the watch out for a stray vulture reminded me of our trip to Warwick Castle and a young vulture that stubbornly refused to fly at all.

Young Rupple's Griffon Vulture at Warwick Castle

I don’t know about you, but for me it seems more sinister that a vulture might be on the loose than if any of the other bird of prey, maybe I watched too many cartoons as a child.

The story did remind me that I really should catch up on some post holiday blogging so here are some of the other fine birds of prey that can be seen at Warwick Castle …

Bald Eagle

Young Milky Eagle Owl

Sea Eagle

Stella Sea Eagle

and my personal favorite the stunning crowned eagle.

Crowned Eagle

Time … Please

We have been on holiday and one of the places we visited was Warwick Castle which was a bit of a disappointment, but more of that on a later blog, for now it is time to show you a little gem tucked away and totally ignored by everyone else who was walking through when we did.

It is believed that Marie Antoinette owned this clock with its ceramic stations of the cross for the numbers, wouldn’t mind owning it myself!
