BIRDS of prey visited Victoria Road Primary school on Thursday and pupils of all ages had a fantastic time watching the display of birds from around the world.

The Welsh Birds of Prey Centre brought the birds to the school and the children were given the chance to handle them using a specially designed glove.

Seven birds were brought for the visit and included a selection of owls, hawks and falcons. Robert Cunliffe, aged 10, holds one of the birds of prey.
