This is definitely our most popular experience and is a real hands on day. We start the day with tea and biscuits and a talk on the history of falconry and a description of some of the magnificent birds that are used. You will then learn how to tie the falconers knot. Then guided by our professional falconers you will have the chance to make some of the leather equipment worn by the birds. We then move on to the weighing of birds of prey, explaining why and how we do this and then allowing you to weigh a bird for your self. Then we are off to the local pub which serves excellent food.
On our return we prepare the Harris Hawks for the afternoons flying and set off into the fields were we have over 1000 acres to use. On our return you will be given a flying demonstration of our Saker Falcon and our very large European Eagle Owl. This really is a wonderful gift for anyone which will definitely not be forgotten.
