At last, I've got round to waffling a bit about Eagle Heights.  Located in Lullingstone Lane, Eynsford, Kent, (Cross the ford, follow the stream, pass under the viaduct and the sign is on the right hand side). Eagle Heights is only approximately 30 minutes drive from London (the South East bit of London anyway!).  Situated at the top of, and one end of a beautiful valley, it is a beautiful site to enjoy the flying displays.  The PiC, (Person in Charge!), Alan has a wonderful sense of humour and cares deeply for his charges.  He's got a good team together to run the place, and each time I've been, there's at least 6 very polite youngsters helping to clean the mews or the snake boxes or most of the 1001 other things that always need doing ;-)
 

Eagle Heights Mews/Poser's Row ;-)

This is the small birds mews, almost the first thing you see when you enter from the gift shop.  The birds range from Falcons, Hobbies, Merlins and Miscellaneous owls.  Very beautiful but can be a little 'noisy'

Alan & Bashful Barn Owl

After giving  a magnificent flying display, this owl came over all shy when Alan started praising him for a good job well done...

The Andean Condor that impressed another Alan last year!!!

This is the Andean Condor that Alan, an American pal who visited us in 1999, was so impressed with after it flew several feet above his head...  With a 9 - 10 foot wingspan, everyone was impressed!!!!

Jim at home with a new pet!!!

The tall chap with the snake is Jim, who came to visit with his wonderful wife Tammy, (right of picture wearing glasses), earlier this year from the USA.  They have several Ball Pythons at home so they were right at home.  In fact, the Boa seemed rather disappointed when Jim had to give it back!!!

I told ya!  I'm da BOSS around here!!!

This owl had other things on it's mind, rather than flying for common ol' visitors!!!  It was Spring after all....

Lurrrve is in the Air!!!

This is what the owl was interested in all the time.  A female is in the cage under him.  Once he landed, he wouldn't budge for anything.  Poor Alan, at great risk to life and limb, had to retrieve him - much to the male owl's disgust!!!
