We spent this weekend at Linlithgow Palace working for Historic Scotland. I always enjoy doing there demos. The talk that i do is totally different to what i  normally say. Their events are always well organised. The weather on Saturday was great but on Sunday it was wet and windy with high winds at times.

I have to wear a medieval outfit which the birds don't seem to mind to much thankfully. Myself and Artemis the Steppe Eagle had our picture taken with Fiona Hislop who is the minister at the Scottish Executive who over sees Historic Scotland.

Uist the Lugger Falcon flew really well in the demonstration on both days but Sanda the Lanner Falcon was mobbed by a seagull on saturday and while she came back she was gone too long and we ran out of time. On Sunday she caught the wind and was carried out while once again being mobbed by a seagull. I had to go and look for her. She was only about half a mile away and i caught up with her quickly thanks to the telemetry. As soon as she saw me she came straight to me before i even had a chance to call her in.

Bob the gyr x saker also did well as he spent the weekend on the glove being carried round Linlithgow Palace to allow people to take photos of me and him. He was hooded  but the hood was taken off so people could see what he looked like and he never caused a problem or baited off or flapped about when i took his hood off. He seems to be getting a lot more steady and used to his new surroundings.

Tomorrow we are back at Cameron House so back to normality
