Hawk Walk Experience for One - West Yorkshire£60.00

About the experience

Discover the enchanting world of raptors in the beautiful West Yorkshire countryside with the thrilling Hawk Walk experience! Marvel at the stunning birds of prey as you take a leisurely stroll through the Halifax countryside. It's the perfect opportunity to observe these creatures in their natural habitat. Meet Kevin and Jo Ryan, a passionate husband-and-wife team who left urban life to become the devoted keepers of a wonderful collection of raptors. They will proudly introduce you to their feathered friends and their unique personalities. They are passionate about nurturing the bond between birds and handlers. During your Hawk Walk experience, you'll meet a variety of raptor residents, each with distinctive character traits that will soon become apparent as you learn to handle them. The impressive 8-foot wingspan of Ruby the Ruppell's Griffon Vulture will leave you in awe as she surveys her surroundings from her favourite perch. If you're looking for cuteness overload, Boo, the adorable Barn Owl, with her constant surprised look, will leave you smiling. Meg, the Bengal Eagle Owl, will steal your heart as she basks in the warm Yorkshire sunshine, slowly closing her eyes for a peaceful nap. Then there are the Harris Hawks, Jack and Vera, whose quirky names make them even more endearing. After meeting both the feathered and non-feathered teams in Halifax, you get to choose your partner for the walk. This is the best part of the session, as you get to work with your favourite bird. With small group sizes (usually up to four guests), you'll have plenty of options. Whether you're encouraging Phoenix the Ferruginous Hawk to soar over the rolling hills or admiring Popeye, the cheeky Peregrine x Saker Falcon, as he takes a speedy dive, the Hawk Walk is the perfect way to end your West Yorkshire experience.

Bill Piggott

My second visit to the falconry centre was every bit as good as my first. The visit is very relaxed but very educational. Wonderful, beautiful birds. It was a privilege to spend time with them.

Janette Rhodes

We had an absolutely amazing time on our falconry experience. I was slightly nervous about handling the birds but Kevin made me feel completely relaxed and I ended up loving every minute of it, well worth it.

Danny

This experience was amazing. Kevin & Jo were very knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. It was a fantastic day and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about doing it. Well worth the money.

DJ Adams

The whole experience was excellent, from the knowledge imparted, through to the birds themselves, and even down to the tea and biscuit break. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin & Jo and their expertise and friendliness to everyone.

David Spong

I had a truly fabulous day at Falconry Life and it was very much an experience. Kevin is clearly passionate about his birds and his expertise and plethora of knowledge was very impressive. The setting is breathtaking as are the beautiful birds I was permitted to handle. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Thanks to Kevin, into the Blue and my wife for making it all possible.

Angela Morphett

I had an absolutely fantastic time and wholeheartedly agree with all the previous excellent reviews. Kevin and Jo are so welcoming and really love their birds. I would recommend this to anyone

Steve Allen

This is without doubt one of the best presents my wife has ever bought me! I went with a friend of mine and from the moment we arrived at Field House Farm we could not have been made more welcome. Kevin and Jo were perfect hosts and the passion they have for their birds is so obvious. Kevin makes handling the birds look so simple but this undoubtedly comes from years of training and experience. The groups he takes are never more than four so you get plenty of time with birds, which are of course the 'stars of the show'. From Boo the Barn Owl to D'mona the Bald Eagle all the birds have their own character. My friend and I haven't stopped talking about the experience and are planning to go back next year.

Derek Tetlow

Just excellent, enthusiastic, informative host and a well thought out day. Plenty of time spent with the birds in a really hands on manner. Would recommend to anyone.

Sarah Hubbard

The experience was absolutely amazing, to spend a number of hours with birds of prey that you would never see in any other surroundings was nothing short of fantastic. I was made to feel really welcome from the beginning to the end of the experience.
