A fantastic experience handling three different owls and three hawks, with enthusiastic and knowledgeable hosts. We only went for the half day, but would be worth a full day.

We received such a friendly welcome on our arrival. Both ladies were excellent. The birds were fascinating to see. We loved little Pedro the Burrowing Owl. I loved seeing our native birds especially the Tawny Owls. We learnt a great deal about vultures and other birds which really opened our eyes. Overall it was a real hands on day with the birds which we loved. Opt for the full day Thank you for a wonderful day
