International Falconary Festival UAE 2011

I won a place in the final of the photography competition sponsored by the IFF with the first shot of a wild male peregrine handing prey to the female, she then swooped down to feed her young. The photographs in the peregrine gallery show the action. This photograph won me first prize at the festival, quite a prestigious award.

The following photographs show the Festival itself. For anyone interested in falconary or birds of prey, I would heartily recommend the festival.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the hosts and the people of Al Ain for thier incredible hospitality.
