That sounds about right. I know the term exists, I just wasn't sure it was the one used.

Birds of prey now.
They had a harder time of it this year, because of the wind.
The two shows on the main showground each only featured two flying birds each; one of the vultures and the Sea Eagle. Too likely for them to be blown off course I think.

I paid more attention this year as I am reading the glorious H is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald, where she details her training and flying of a goshawk. I highly (re)commend it.

Close ups from the non-flying part of the show.
