Inspired by the idea of two different characters, one fictional and the
other real, sharing the same name.
Sonic fans will very likely know about Shadow the Hedgehog.
The other Shadow is a Harris hawk, from the Minster Museum in Thanet.
He is owned, along with all the other birds there, by David Grew, who
is a friend of ours. We have often been to the Minster Museum to see
the artefacts and animals there, but usually the sole purpose of
our visit is to see David's falconry displays.
My personal favourite of his birds is… Shadow the Harris Hawk. One day,
the idea leapt out at me to attempt this picture and bring the two
Shadows together in one picture.
