Scoring a Birdie

Some more images from the International Centre for Birds of Prey (ICBP) in Newent. This set shows birds in their enclosures. I definitely intended to hit a melancholy note, but there's no implied criticism of the organisation. They do important work and the birds wouldn't be free if they weren't at this facility.

The images are slightly soft because I was shooting through a fine mesh which formed the front of each enclosure - the shallow depth of field meant that it became invisible once the focal length went beyond a certain point.

Each enclosure had a skylight made of opaque, corrugated plastic, which is the other factor determining the quality of light in these images.
