New month

What a change a new month makes. We were flat out over August with a lot of events out on the road and bookings at the centre. We are now in September and the diary has gone quiet. Saying that we were fully booked today and we also picked up a big corporate event for a week on Saturday, so the bookings are still coming which is great.

As i have said before while it is quiet with bookings that doesn't mean we are quiet in the centre. Amber a female Harris Hawk is getting ever closer to her flying weight. We are bringing down Pele's weight down as well as we get him ready to start flying again. Plus we have the other birds to work with. Bob the GyrXSaker is an on going project  if you like. Some days he seems to be making progress and other days he seems to be going backwards.

Dylan a Barn Owl flew free the on sat for the first time in 6 months and seems to be doing ok but every so often his aim seems a bit out and he misses perches. We will need to keep an eye on him.

While i am saying that there is always plenty to do in the centre one thing can restrict things and that is the weather. The weekend there was great - warm and sunny. Monday was ok - dry. Tuesday morning (today) it was pouring. At least the sun came out in the afternoon. We still managed to get the booking done that were booked in for today even if the morning one was in the rain.

Hopefully the weather will improve for the weekend. Saturday is fully booked with bookings at the centre and Jo is at the Milngavie Book Festival so busy as normal.
