Big birds at Thorpe Pero


The next thing we did was go to a place called Thorpe Pero, which is the garden of a big stately home. The best thing was that we saw lots of birds of prey. It was really exciting because we saw some flying and I got a huge bird land on my arm which was a jackal buzzard. Granny got a beautiful barn owl to land on her. I would really like to keep birds of prey when I am older, but I think you need a licence. The lady told us that owls are not really very wise because their eyes take up a lot of the room in their heads so their brains are really small. It was fantastic.
We also saw white swans there - all swans in England are white and all belong to the queen.
