Monday 3 Sept 2018 – Moreton-in-Marsh

Last day in the Cotswolds. We did a weeks’ worth of laundry at the Launderette then off to the Batsford Arboretum, a short walk back along the way we came yesterday. We heard it had great trees and flowers but felt we had seen plenty of native trees in the last week, so we skipped that and did the raptor free flight demonstration associated with the Arboretum. It had some similarities to what we have seen at the Desert Museum, but this was more free-form. With a couple of the birds they were trying to get them to hunt in the adjacent field. They also had people in the audience handle the birds. It was interesting enough that we stayed for the second show. 

Tonight last night happy hour and dinner with our group.
