I was supposed to be going fishing today.
Damion rang up at last minute and blew out. He had the hangover from hell.
Decided to have a bird of prey day.
Got both of my Kites out for a bit of a fly around. Bit rusty but getting there. I've been away to much really.
I'm off to Japan tomorrow so thought it might be an idea to stock up with dead chics. Phoned my mate at Chatuchak and drove down to pick up my order.
Porno fancied a look at the dogs so we had a a walk round.
Didn't see much to be honest then a dealer who knows me ran out from behind his stall and grabbed my arm. I knew he must have something a bit special that could not be put on show.
Opened a great big box and what was inside?....................
A Crested Serpent Eagle chic.
It's not easy getting a Golden coloured one either. I knew I was looking at a rare bird. I've only ever seen one or two black ones for sale.
I didn't really fancy weighing in a load of money and I knew it was going to be expensive. I asked how much?
8500 baht.
Porno bid him down to 7000 baht. Seemed like a good idea. I went to ATM and got the money.
I am now the proud owner of a bastard great Eagle. My first one.
Took it straight to the bird school and had it sprayed and checked out. It's in good nick anyway.

A full grown one so you can see what he will look like.

I'm planning more time spent with these type of birds from now on.
