Wings on Wednesday -
YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and
the downright hilarious in photographing birds.
It is a representation of King James the Fourth of Scotland, who is reputed to have been a mad keen falconer.
In the absence of seeing any actual falcons, this will have to do!
What an interesting sculpture...I can understand King James' obsession/passion. I have a new one..starts with a q.

Falconry must be one of the few sports that have been favoured by humans from early antiquity to the present day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a young King he was...and what a great reaching pose!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see hawks, I wonder what it would be like to train one!
ReplyDeleteSome people have unbelievable fascination or fear about certain things.Nice picture.
ReplyDeleteHello, I love this sculpture. I met a falconer, it is an interesting hobby? Wishing you a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI like to see what they statue has on, the shoes, the clothing, the crown is different than most. not a fan of predator birds, but this one I can handle. he can't attack me
