Mentmore Falconry Description
Only open to pre-booked guests, for a totally exclusive experience, in 4000 acres of private estate land in Buckinghamshire.
Mentmore Falconry was set up to provide a place for guests to experience the tradition and sport of falconry. Our aims are to provide quality falconry days and close up encounters for newcomers to falconry.
We also offer quality courses and tuition in partnership with Raptor Awards - supporting those who wish to learn how to work with their own bird of prey. Carefully structured to cover all aspects of basic bird of prey management and falconry training, it is a solid place to start your falconry journey.
We hope to educate as many guests as possible about how important birds of prey are within our environment, and why we should care about the future of raptor conservation both here and worldwide.
From individual raptor encounters to full hunting days and falconry tuition - we deliver a quality and unique experience.
No large groups or limited handling. Just you and your invited guests, interacting with our beautiful birds.
Explore the world of falconry and the importance of protecting wild birds of prey today.

Look at those tiny talons! Four Little Owls hatched over the last 24 hours with three still to go. No sleep for us for a while!

The full clutch of eggs laid by our kestrel. No need for instagram filters - nature is beautiful enough.

Venom enjoying the wind today with guests. This hawk is addicted to the wind. No plodding back and forth from a perch for this harris hawk.

Welcome to the world little one. Our first chick of 2019 - a baby barn owl, just four days old today. #barnowl #owlsofinstagram #babyowl #owlbreeding
Very pleased to announce the first chick of 2019 had been bred here. A baby barn owl.
No pics of the chick yet as we don't want to disturb the parents. Here's a pic of the egg just pipping yesterday morning though...
Hiccup the Little Owl flying to a guest yesterday. A tiny bird with massive personality! #littleowl #falconry #birdofpreyexperience #owlsofinstagram
Look at those wings and feet in slow mo! Álmos the black chested buzzard eagle in action this afternoon. This could be your view if you book an experience day with us! #falconry #blackchestedbuzzardeagle #chileanblueeagle #experienceday
Hiccup the little owl had just had his final training day and is ready to start flying with guests again. Don't you just love the bobbing flight of a little owl? Also, he's still not very good at landing on the glove yet! Usually ends up halfway up my arm...a work in progress! #littleowl #owlsofinstagram #falconry #experienceday
Why not buy your loved one something a little different this Christmas! Experience day gift vouchers are available via our website or feel free to call us directly to book. http://www.mentmorefalconry.com/
