Spend a half day learning all about birds of prey. This hands on course offers you the chance to spend time with an experienced falconer who will share their knowledge of the history of falconry, owning and flying birds of prey and the characteristics of different species. You will be shown how to pick up and carry a hawk, and will move on to the early stages of training the bird to fly to fist.
Your experience starts with an introduction to the history of falconry as a sport, the legalities of owning and flying a bird of prey and the characteristics of different types of bird of prey.

Once you have mastered the basic handling of the bird you will learn how to fly the bird to a gloved fist. Finally there will be plenty of photo opportunities to capture a truly unforgettable experience. You will be at there for approximately 3 hours in total.

Excellent present, got to handle 4 birds of prey. Only 2 of us in group so had more time to handle birds. The owner was excellent, he knew all the information. The birds were beautiful. The weather was awful, it rained all day, but we all enjoyed ourselves. A fab experience for any age. Would love to do it again (in the sunshine)! Would highly recommend this to anyone.
