This morning was fine and clear for Ian's hawk walk.
We met Courtney our guide at the Falconry Keep and we were introduced to 'Wexford' our gorgeous Harris Hawk. Courtney filled us in on life for Wexford and then we were off.
As we wandered around the grounds and woods surrounding Ashford Castle, our hawk
came and went from Ian's arm. He even caught a mouse and consumed it in seconds before our eyes whilst we were in the woods!!! It just added to our amazing castle experience. Oh and that is Wexford's BEAK you can see between his legs.
Our room was perfect and the service impeccable. Here are some photos of the lounge and dining areas. Our room was the three windows on third floor and the little slit beside them set back slightly was our bathroom! Right in the front overlooking the lake and gardens! We sadly had to leave eventually and one of the porters polished up our car for us while we waited for our bags.
Oh how wonderful, What an amazing experience Ian! Love the pics, almost like we are with you both.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are enjoying the pictures Beth. The next best thing to us all being here together!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteSo the pink anorak puts in an appearance again - hurrah! Sounds like this will be one of the highlights of your trip, it looks an amazing experience. Good to see you've upgraded your car, although it looks a little small.
