I visited the bird santuary in Aliwee Caves outside Ballyvaughan recently. It was well worth the visit. Their are many types of birds of prey here, owls, buzzards and even a raven. The latter was my favourite he is a beautiful black raven with darkk inky wings. He is clearly very clever and also cheeky. He has been known to steal his handlers mobile phone on more than one occasion and can be found accross the fields with the ringing mobile. The staff were all really helpful and open to my request for permission to film at a later date.
The visit that was most enjoyable and was followed by a guided tour of the cave and later a coffee in the sunshine overlooking the vista of the burren and the Ballyvaughen landscape
