Well I was wrong. Does happen sometimes. Luna is not a falcon, but a Canadian Great Horned Owl. What a beautiful creature (so was the owl, ha, ha). Had a very pleasant lunch at a cafe in a big park in Reigate, sitting outside watching people, talking and learning more about birds of prey. It’d be great if we had similar opportunities to work with birds and animals as in UK.
Had an easy drive to Hastings and found a B&B very easily – about 2 miles from the centre of Hastings along the sea front. As for many beaches along this part of the coast, the beach is large pebbles instead of sand like our beaches. There must be some decent waves and longshore transportation because the beach opposite us has groynes as far as you can see and the level of stones between each groyne varies.
Off to the “Bo Peep” pub for dinner soon. Tomorrow we go to Dover where we will spend a couple of nights with another set of special friends before returning the car to Hertz, crossing the channel to France and collecting our brand new Renault Clio.
Great photos so good you caught up with The Bird. We are loving your blog and great anecdotes about your trip.
