October 2002
A visit to the Thames Valley Falconry Centre, not far from Reading, Berks.. Then later to the Blue Reef aquarium in Southsea, Portsmouth. This has been recently revamped from the old Portsmouth Sea Life Centre, and was nothing like as good, unfortunately.

| Julian with Amber, the eagle owl. She is BIG (almost 2 feet tall). She doesn't hoot, she roars. | James with Ice, having flown her. All the falconers handle the birds, which remain remarkably calm. |

 |
| Lion fish. Peter saw loads of these for real in the Red Sea. They use light from divers' torches to help them hunt... | Me admiring the 'cute' otters with their claws and teeth, tearing dead fish apart. |

 |
| Rays! My favourites. | Sharks flying overhead in the walk-through tunnel. |
