Last week I went to the Ironport customer day. Ironport make an excellent email appliance that is superb at stopping spam. The customer day was excellent and in the afternoon they had some interesting events. One of the events was falconry. It was fascinating to have the birds so close and have them land on the glove. They are much lighter than you think.

The Kestrel was amazing. The movement and the speed was remarkable to watch. Despite all this the grace with which the bird flew was wonderful. It really did make you want to get involved with these wonderful birds.
