Eagles Flying is a bird of prey sanctuary located in Ballymote, Sligo.  Whether you are part of a family group, or a photographer it is well worth a visit.  From a family perspective you can be entertained by an open air flying show with a very informative and chatty commentary from Lothar.  After the show children and the young at heart, are invited into the barn where they are allowed interact with some of the rescued wildlife that the sanctuary have saved.  From a photography perspective you have lots of opportunity to practice capturing birds in flight in a 'contained' area along with snapping classy portrait shots of the birds.   

The two photos shown here were taken during the afternoon show and feature two of the four birds that flew during the display.
