Full
Day Hunting Expedition: This is the most comprehensive introduction
day to the art of falconry. You will be enthralled as the birds
get the chance to show what millions of years of evolution has
shaped them to do.
After being fitted with a glove and having had your safety
briefing you will handle one of our team of hunting hawks.
After your early two course hot lunch, we head in the 4 X 4 vehicles
to the hunting grounds. Using various methods to flush a variety
of
game,
the falconers
will attempt to show you the birds using 100% of their instinct,
experience and skill to catch their prey as they would in the wild.
Possibly the highlight of your day will be the last half hour or
so as we set up a short flight with one of the eagles. Very different
to the flight and strategy of the hawks, with truly unbelievable
power and grace ..... you'll have to come along and see it to believe
it, and we KNOW YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT!
The full day can also be
taken as an experience rather than a hunting
day. For those who really would enjoy the comprehensive day with
the birds, but have no desire to witness game being taken, this day
really is the perfect package. The guest will fly with owls, hawks,
buzzards or vulture, falcons and eagles, and spend some time learning
what makes them tick. Each of these days is different. Being so lucky
to have a broad range of species available to us here means that
as the seasons change, we can fly birds better suited to the current
climate and conditions. Thus, through the year, the full day (more
than any other) changes accordingly. As winter approaches, you'll
join us as we begin exercising Golden Eagles and perhaps peregrine
falcons. In late summer we'll be working with new untrained birds
that we have bred here so you can see some of the back ground to
training a bird of prey from the start. In spring we'll be hand raising
baby owls! You'll join us all the way through a variety of species,
learn about them and their specialities and niche, and of course
fly a multitude of species for your pleasure. |
