Old Park Meadow joined forces with Essex Wildlife Trust to host an afternoon tea with a birds of prey demonstration for care home residents.
Residents from care homes across Essex were invited to learn about the trust's charitable efforts and the community events hosted by Old Park Meadow Natural Burial Ground.
Eden Falconry then put on a birds of prey demonstration, with a kestrel and a barn owl show and a chance to meet a tawny and European eagle owl.

Residents then enjoyed a spread of sandwiches and cakes.
Delyse Jackaman, manager of Old Park Meadow, said: "We knew an afternoon tea would be a perfect way to connect with care home residents.
"Thank you to everyone who joined us."
