Forest Falconry - a 'hands on' Birds of Prey Experience 9:45 - 13:00

On arrival you will be greeted by your Falconers for the day. They will introduce you to the flying team which is an assortment of Owls, Hawks, Falcons and Eagles.  

We like to get you into the thick of it as soon as possible, so its on with the Falconry Gauntlet and straight into the woodland glade for some hands-on with one of our much loved native species, the Barn and Tawny Owls. You will be enchanted by these silent wonders of the woodland as they glide through the forest to alight upon your glove. These are ideal to start with, allowing you to grow in confidence before you progress to bigger and faster birds.

Mid-Morning Refreshments
We will stop for a mid-morning rest where refreshments in the way of Tea and Coffee are supplied. Our Kestrel will wow you with his speed and agility and you can put your new found skills and confidence to the test when you are the one calling him to your falconry glove.  Then, it’s into the Forest to see how all the training comes together in the field with a Harris Hawk. The Harris is a super smart Hunter, who will follow you in the tree canopy as you walk along the wooded paths, regularly returning to your gloved fist along the way. ​

This we hope this will be a day never to be forgotten, and will only fuel your interest further of these incredible creatures.
