Devon Birds of Prey Centre visit



 Four of us (plus some husbands) went along to the Centre, which is conveniently situated right next to Fermoy’s Garden Centre, this afternoon. Our first WI event, pretty much the only one we have managed to  achieve from our 2020 programme! The weather was glorious, there were, maybe ten other people there, so for those of you who were frightened about having to mingle with others, your fears were unfounded! No-one came close to anyone else at all. This is not to mention how close the birds came! The barn owl, first of the display birds to fly, brushed past my shoulder and then my knees! The eagle owl seemed to prefer walking about rather than flying, and he hopped within 9” of my feet! They also landed on the benches, quite close to where we were sitting! It was a fabulous experience, and is well worth a visit! 

We dropped in to sample the delicious tea and cakes at Fermoys afterwards
