Bird of prey



Quite happy of this pic I got today . Driving down a lane after my job I saw a couple of birds of prey darting about .

Who's looking at you ?



This bird was making a fair bit of racket today almost as if he wanted me to notice him and take a picture . Nice to actually get that close as well . Usually there is not much detail as you are too far away

RAF Sea King in Bala



This RAF helicopter was part of a multi service exercise that took place in Bala with rumors that Prince William was flying one of these helicopters . ( As far as I'm aware they were only rumors ) .

Classic quote when I told a lady about who was rumored flying the aircraft she said " Why is he training ? He'd be no use , he's off to Australia soon then getting married ."

I got nice and close , the first aircraft was looked to be piloted by an all female crew .

Whipping chamber Ruthin Castle



Entrance to the whipping chamber Castle grounds Ruthin castle. Exactly what it sounds like , if you were bad you got sent down here into the chamber to be whipped .

Tomb Raiders



Got to work this morning and was told this pic was featured in the national newspaper the Daily Express today . Several tombs were broken into by treasure hunters searching for either buried treasure or lead coffins . It's an absolute disgrace what lengths some people will go to to make some cash .
