Sweet Burr Knot relaxing in the sunshine 🥰 There's no better sight than a lawn full of happy birds enjoying some R&R on a sunny day - you'll often see the birds preening, sunbathing and having a dip in the bath, which are the ultimate signs of comfort and happiness.

When you imprint a bird, it's very important to introduce them to all sorts of new things when they're babies - if you don't, they tend to end up being wary of that thing when they're older. Piccolo has been spending time with Codie to get more comfortable working with women...

We were sad to say goodbye to them both when Katie left for pastures new but Sky has now returned to the centre to rejoin the flying team, and we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome her back! 📸 - James Taylor and Cristian Boldor Photography

You may have noticed a (not so) new addition to the flying team recently... This is Sky - she's a 10 year old common kestrel. Sky lived here a few years back when Katie was a member of Bird Staff. 1/2

Buzzards are highly opportunistic and will scavenge as well as hunt. They will take almost anything between the size of an earthworm and a rabbit. 📸 - Burr Knot, Eurasian buzzard with Amy. Taken by Dave Smith

At an estimated 70,000 breeding pairs, the Eurasian buzzard is our most common bird of prey here in the UK. These lovely birds can be seen soaring lazily over a wide variety of environments from forests to dual carriageways on the search for something to eat. (1/2)

Caption this! Tacora and Palomar flying in a cast at the Raptor Fair last week. Palomar only just beat his brother to the food, much to Tacora's displeasure! 📸 - Harris' hawks by Richard Lower #ncbp #helmsley #harrishawk

Sun's out, guns out 😎 The weather is finally feeling more summery (just in time for the Raptor Fair next weekend!) and the birds are definitely enjoying some well needed sunshine. 📸 - Longshanks, Verreaux's eagle soaking in the rays #ncbp #helmsley #yorkshire #eagle

Whoever said vultures are ugly has clearly never met a king vulture - just look at those colours 🤩 Vultures have extremely strong stomach acid - so strong that they can eat carcasses infected with diseases such as anthrax, bubonic plague and botulism without getting sick!
