Hawksflight Falconry

Scout doing one of his party pieces on last weekends experience day.

Are we sitting comfortably ? 7 weeks old and taking a break from all the exploring around the house !

Another Hawksflight slow-mo. Scout, doing one of his party pieces on a hawk walk back in March !

Picked up this little lad last Tuesday and he's doubled in size since then. Took him up to the centre yesterday for the first time and he's settled down really well finding his feet ( and look at the size of em' !! ) and starting to explore !

Kojo, our African Spotted Eagle Owl, in slow mo ! A great weekend just gone, the weather held out and everyone performed brilliantly......including our guests !!

A busy weekend just gone with a Birds of Prey experience, an Owl encounter and a hawk walk. It was a blast with great guests and well behaved birds. We managed to dodge the showers on Saturday and although a bit windy on the Sunday, all went well !

These guy's don't get a mention much but are still an important part of the team, working along side Scout and Jenna on the hunting days and are not food for the birds like one of our guests thought !!

Tilly with a t'dah moment ! A superb shot taken by Richard Lovelock on an Owl experience last week !

went for the 3 hour birds of prey experience. it was just wonderful! very good fun and interesting talk about all the individual birds then some great flying time with some of them. Thistle the long eared owl was my fave! just the best 3 hrs ever! will deffo go back.

We've just come back from Amazing day here, we did the birds of prey experience and then the hawk walk with Scout, which I have to say was completly surreal and such a wonderful experience. Very informative, answered all our questions with great knowledge, the birds are treated with such love and respect and they trust David too which was great to see. Will be definitely coming back and recommend to anyone!!!

Visited Hawksflight yesterday. The weather was better than expected I am glad to say.

This was a Christmas gift from my daughter and we didn't know what to expect.

We started with 8 in the group, but this ended up being 6 as 2 people unfortunately had to leave a short time after arriving.

With ample time for everyone to have several turns at flying the Beautiful Tilly,Scout and the Lanner Falcon who's name I don't recall at the moment.

To get see these wonderful creatures up close was phenomenal.

Scout was captivating on the Hawk walk.

We learned so much from the visit. I am hooked.

Highly recommend a visit.

Took two of my ladies, i am a support worker, to this experience yesterday , 21st oct. We all loved the experience. The guy was extremely knowledgeable, not sure about the jokes , teet owl , pmsl, was great with everyone. Gorgeous birds an was lovely to see them up close. Thank you from us 3 .

The 3 hour Birds of Prey experience far surpassed our expectations - an absolutely fantastic experience, It was such a thrill to watch the different owls fly and land on our gloves, and then go for a beautiful countryside walk with Scout, the Harris Hawk. What was so striking is how much Dave loves his birds, and how knowledgeable – we learned so much. Nothing was too much trouble for Dave, and he went out of his way to make this a birthday treat to remember. We can recommend this experience without any reservations – such good value. Many thanks Tricia and Chris

Really enjoyed yesterday! what made it even more special I brought it for my mum as an mother day present and she thoughly enjoyed every moment of it. We got to learn so much about all the birds. My mums favourite part was when she to do the circle for the kestrel to fly through. Thank you for making it an great day ��.

Really enjoyable informative afternoon for my son's owl experience. Lovely setting and the birds are just beautiful. A little bit gutted that I didn't book for myself, so much so we're going ti back for the Hawk Walk.

Me and my husband went for an experience today as a treat as we have recently brought our own barn owl... had a great day, learnt loads, very helpful and birds are very healthy and well looked after! Thank you x

Me and hubby had a fabulous 3 hours, got to meet some very interesting birds of prey, had a really enjoyable day and would definately do it again, would recommend this to anyone who has the love for birds of prey or interested in knowing more about them.

Loved the 2 hours we spent here today...I took my husband, daughter, her husband and my 2 grandchildren. Fair to say we learned a lot, smiled lot and laughed a lot! Excellent experience...recommended for all ages! Free to park and, being on the edge of a garden centre, a cuppa available afterwards! Will be back with my camera :-) Thanks!

It was so amazing I would tell anyone to come who are interested in in birds thank you for sharing your knowledge and your birds it was a really grate day can't believe I had a kestral fly through my arms thank you

I purchased this for my girlfriend as she is a bit of a bird nut,and tbh it has made her day,Dave was brilliant,full of knowledge and makes you feel very comfortable,scout is amazing,so is Tilly in fact you can't say you have a favourite they were all lovley and joy to around

Think I will definitely be buying a proper hawk walk with Dave for us again,Thankyou for a great experience

I bought a hawk walk for my hubby for Christmas. We had a great time and lovely walk with the beautiful Scout. Dave made us all feel a part of it and clearly has a great love for what he does. Would really recommend anyone going along. �

Excellent experience!

Very knowledgeable with loads of information, hints and tips.

Had a great time with all the birds and will not be forgetting Tilly in a hurry �

Highly recommended!

Excellent day hunting with hawks - educational as well as participative. Having the hawks flying so close really gives you an exceptional experience, and David's commentary not only helped to understand the why and how but also kept us entertained. Highly recommended even for those who may not be sure about birds of prey.

Christmas present for my son and husband. Was an amazing experience for them with Scout the Harris Hawk. Exceeded their expectations as they were able to handle him more. David is obviously passionate about his birds and made it interesting for me tagging along as an observer too. Definitely an experience they wont forget, we have some wonderful photos to remember it by

An absolutely brilliant experience. I was bought the 2 hour Owl flying experience as a Christmas present and booked in for the weekend just gone and would really recommend it! It wasn’t quite the two hours as it was a really hot day and it wasn’t fair on the birds, completely understandable and respectable. We went through lots of routines and interactions. Really interesting as well as educational and the Owls were fantastic. The bond between David and the birds was a pleasure to see. Thank you for such a great owl encounter. Rebecca �

A birthday treat for my wife and one we both thoroughly enjoyed. Dave clearly has great respect for his birds and combined a fun flying session with just the right level of information to make it a memorable experience.



We’ll be back for a Hawk walk later in the year. Would definitely recommend.

5 stars just isn't enough! Very informative as well as hands on. If it wasn't for having to get back to pick up my daughter I would have stayed all day. If I lived closer then I would be volunteering during the week. Cannot recommend the experience enough
