In an attempt to keep group sizes small, each guest is entitled to bring one spectator for an additional charge.
Please note, the minimum age of guests on site is 13 years of age.
On arrival you will be taken on a tour of the aviaries to meet the various birds used in Falconry, we currently have more than fifty birds on our site used for both flying and breeding.
You are given a Falconers glove to wear and then you are in at the deep end! You normally start with either a Barn or Tawny owl to give you some confidence, then straight onto Mascara a female European Eagle Owl, the worlds largest Owl!
She will fly from high in the branches of the Pines to land silently on your raised fist, When she is sitting on your gauntlet you can truly feel the power of this incredibly beautiful predator. You can take as many photos as you wish as she takes everything in her stride!
After experiencing the Magic of the Owls its then time to move up in both speed and agility with the Hawks. We fly both Redtailed and Harris Hawks, and you will get to assist in the training of these birds helping to create a perfect falconry bird. We finish the morning by taking a trained Hawk into the surrounding woodland so you can see how all the training comes together in the field, you can attempt to hunt Rabbit and Pheasant if you wish but this is not compulsory.The Full day guests say fairwell to the morning guests and have a break for lunch. After your lunch you will train and fly the Jet fighters of the bird world, the Falcons! These include the Peregrine, Lanner, Gyr and Sakers, all capable of speeds in excess of 120mph! This is the more historic side of Falconry, and the sight of a hooded Falcon on a Gauntlet has been the traditional image of Falconry for centuries. We finish your day with a flight to your fist from one of our Golden Eagles; these are truly the ultimate predators combining Power and strength with Speed and agility.
We hope your day with us only increases your passion for these amazing creatures, and your memories of the day are truly unforgettable.
