Product ID: 15427
For animal enthusiasts, there's no better way to spend your free time than immersed in nature, surrounded by majestic hawks, owls, and falcons at a private falconry in Shropshire. With this Half Day Falconry Experience, you’ll not only learn about the fascinating history of this ancient sport, but also get hands-on as you prepare these incredible birds for flight. Up close, they’re even more awe-inspiring than when seen soaring through the sky. During the 3.5-hour session, you’ll explore 600 acres of beautiful countryside, learning about the powerful hawks as you walk among them. What makes this experience truly special is that the centre is never open to the public—so when you book, you and a small group of participants will have exclusive access. You'll gain in-depth knowledge about the birds’ breeding and rearing processes while also getting plenty of opportunities to witness them fly in this pristine setting. If you’re eager to delve into the fascinating world of falconry, this half-day course is perfect for you.

Customer Reviews for the Half Day Falconer Experience - Shropshire
Shropshire Falconry Raptor Experience was one of those never forget moments. We were exceedingly well looked after and given a very professional hands on session with perfect specimen birds of prey. To handle such beautiful and athletic creatures at very close quarters was more than we had hoped for. Lisa and Steve are such devoted carertrainers and their passion, love and knowledge of their birds is obvious, infectious and truly impressive. For those who want to see these flying athletes at their best then Shropshire Falconry is a must.
