I see a barn owl, little owl, then not sure..but I think it's a great horn owl, =O

Possibly. There was also an Eagle Owl, but it was wrongly positioned for photographing.
Personally I was far more interested in the Soko Kraguj, the ex-GDR SA-8 Gecko and XH558 (which they cancelled the flight of at the last minute, bastards).

So...I ended up using google because I had no goddamn clue what kind of "birds" those are. And it turns out that those birds can actually throw bombs at us!

Er nearly.
The Kraguj is a light counter-insurgency type
XH558 is the last flying (when it actually does fly) Vulcan in the world (and only ever bombed once in the entire service career of the type: in the Falklands war)
and the SA-8 is a self-propelled anti-aircraft missile system, the one at the show currently being borrowed by the RAF.

 

You take any pictures of the planes, Oli?

 

Oh yeah: still sorting and cataloguing them.
But I'll post a link when they're done.

 

That would be great. I'm sure me and Killjoy would enjoy them...although I think he would enjoythem in a more...carnal way.

The flowers above are dry, the summer is too hot. More flowers and some vegetables from the backyard of the castle:

Thanks, Enmos, I didn't realize that there are many nice places near my place. All places that I visited this weekend are in less than one hour distance >.<

I'll upload some more photos..

 

Try some wild flowers next time, I suppose you can find them even closer to where you live
