Something you don't see every day

 I went to Paignton Green to day on my daily walk and came across this gentleman with a bird on his arm. It's a female Harris's Hawk, a raptor native to South America. The gentleman in question is from a company called  Stef Peers Falconry and Hawking and for a small fee, as outlined in the bottom photo you can enjoy the thrill of holding and flying this bird. Raptor Rescue, a charitable organisation benefit from this deal. I am not sure if you just turn up or if you need to give then a ring first.
 Nice bird, could do with one in the back garden to get rid of the pigeons.
I did try and find a web page with something about Stef but all I got was a Facebook page with nothing on it, yet.
