Just a fun shot (c)

Just thought I would upload a bit of a fun shot.

This is Leighton the Buzzard perched freely on a mobile perch, please note that he is not tethered to it as he is just wearing anklets with no jesses. By holding up a branch like this or any kind of branch he will happily fly from a tree at any height & land on it to pose, this always brings a smile to my face everytime lol.

Thanks for looking
