The  Falconry Experience

On arrival at the barn the falconer will greet you and will then give you a guided tour of the centre and an introduction to the birds we keep. He will also run through some basic bird handling and safety issues for the day.
It will then be off onto the estate to witness the hawks at their most spectacular! The emphasis will be on interaction between you and the hawks, in depth information on falconry techniques and bird handling, as well as raptor biology, physiology and psychology, hunting strategies of wild raptors and captive breeding. The hunting trip will be spent in pursuit of pheasant with our hawks.
