Flight Lessons
I felt I was witnessing a masterclass in flying during my final visit. Dad flew onto a nearby branch, turned into the wind and flapped his magnificent wings while remaining perched. Both parents were flying close to the nest and young Werner, now looking like a fully qualified Wedgie, was taking it all in. So after some serious thought, a feed, some more stretching and exercising, it was time to give it a crack.
What a privilege to have been allowed to watch the growth of our king of the sky from egg to young adulthood. Something I`ll always be very grateful for.
