For the welfare of my birds, training and public education, I share my knowledge and experiences with those interested in Raptors and all aspects of Falconry.

 Hands on Approach

Working with and handling Hawks & Owls gives you that personal hands on approach and feel, you enjoy and take away memories of an ultimate experience that supports our aim of raptor education for all of those with an interest in Bird of Prey.

I work hard to ensure that you enjoy your experience, you will not be disappointed………..

Falconry techniques have been refined over centuries and passed down from many falconers. Your course will give you the opportunity to share in this knowledge and to interact with these magnificent birds of prey up close, before learning how to handle and fly them free. My birds are not trained to do tricks they fly as nature intended and are encouraged do what comes naturally to them.

Your course allows you to not only share in the knowledge and skills of Falconry, but offers you the excitement of a real hands on opportunity throughout your experience as you fly and handle both Hawks and Owls. 

Your experience will begin with a general falconry input, including the laws relating to Birds Of Prey, then meeting different types of Raptors.

You will learn the fitting and use of falconry equipment, practice the early stages of training to flying birds free. This input is also suitable for those considering taking up Falconry or for those simply wanting hands on contact with Hawks and Owls.

As well as having a fun and entertaining time you will be made aware of the practical implications of owning a bird of prey.

A Unique opportunity to handle and fly these awe-inspiring raptors.

The perfect gift for all bird of prey enthusiasts! Learn and see why falconry became such a popular past time with Kings and aristocrats over those centuries past. Fly these magnificent birds over the South Hams and Dartmoor, in woodland or farmland. Hunt rabbit and pheasant (in season) with Harris Hawks. With fantastic photo opportunities, it will be a perfect and truly unforgettable day.

Welcome to an inspiring and unique experience!

Imagine the thrill of being a "Falconer For A Day" 

 meeting Hawks and Owls closer than you have ever been before.

Experience the excitement of flying magnificent Birds of Prey and watch in awe as they follow and return to you

Based on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park, I specialise in individual tuition or to small, informal groups where you the Guest(s) fly the birds under close supervision and guidance.

Treat yourself or someone special to a day you will remember forever.
