The Smestow valley pair were rising on a thermal near to Barley Field. As usual, I only managed to get the camera out just before they gained enough height to fly off in search of prey.

Misericords depicting animals
More misericords, the first two again from Stratford. The strange-looking animal between the two monsters above is a dromedary, presumably carved by someone who had never seen a camel. The fine stag below is being ridden by a naked woman for some reason.
The lions’ heads misericord is from another Holy Trinity church, this time in Coventry city centre.
