Meet our raptors — 23/08/24

frontpage of the Hippo showing 2 bald eagles in tree with title at bottom

It’s a lovely time of year for bird watching — particularly for watching raptors, such as owls, hawks and falcons. Mya Blanchard talks to local experts about some of the birds of prey you may spot and what they look like. Photo at right is of a Peregrine falcon, photo by Al Hospers. Photo of bald eagles on the cover is by Joe Grande.

Also on the cover Mya Blanchard catches up with chef Keith Sarasin about his book Mastering Fermentation. John Fladd gives you an easy but impressive flourless chocolate cake. Michael Witthaus talks to Liam Spain about the NH Irish Festival.
