MEMBERS of Lymm Photographic Society were able to get up close with some of the fastest flying birds on earth when they arranged a special evening at a birds-of-prey centre.
The evening enabled members to take photographs of various birds, in flight and statically.
At first, some members found the most fast-flying birds a challenge, but as the evening went on the picked up tips from each other and the photography got better.
Among the birds photographed were Sebastian (a Golden Eagle), Lumpy (a Great Grey Owl), Wispa (a Kestrel) and Franklin (a Bald Eagle). Other birds that members were able to capture on film included American Black Vultures, African Hooded Vultures, a Tawny Owl, a Golden Eagle and a Peregrine/Lanner Falcon.
Lymm Photographic Society meets twice a month (except August) at 7.30pm Wednesday evenings at the Spread Eagle.
Visitors and members of all abilities are always welcome. See http://www.lymmphotosoc.org.uk/ for more information.
