Great Day

Mercer Falconry owner Dan, is full of knowledge and enthusiasm. He makes the session entertaining and everyone got to handle the birds, despite there being 30 people at the event. The birds are really well looked after and it is great to share in Dans enthusiasm and love for his craft.

A wonderful afternoon

Really didn't know what to expect, but could not have been a more exciting and informative experience. Incredible to see and handle the birds, and be given so much interesting detail as to how the handlers work with them, and how different their personalities are. Genuinely fascinating. Only sorry I won't be setting up a mews to start my own falconry. Can't not mention Huggy the Owl - seriously amazing. Bongo the own should have his own Facebook page. Drone session just amazing - won't spoil the surprise! John who ran the session was incredibly professional. The birds were all in excellent condition, and it was very reassuring to see how well they were kept and how carefully they were looked after. Most impressed that the local pigeon flock was totally indifferent to the presence of so many potential predators. Brilliant experience

Brilliant afternoon of falconry.

What a great 4 hrs, beautiful summer day surrounded with beautiful birds, Jon was a perfect host, full of knowledge and anecdotes, expertly handling the birds with his expert sidekick. Having the birds fly in to you was amazing, feeling the weight of these magnificent birds on your gloved hand was certainty an experience I will not forget.

Owl Encounter

The whole experience was very enjoyable and Bob very knowledgeable. The party was quite large - 9 with additional spectators and although it may have slowed the process slightly it did not affect the enjoyment as each person had more than enough time with each owl. Bob gave plenty of information about each of the owls being handled and also all the other owls he and his wife look after. What a lovely way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday morning. As it is on a working farm there are also other animals to look at free of charge and a small garden centre with a lovely cafe serving home made food.
