Meet birds of prey in a natural trail setting near Sevenoaks ...

Hidden down a country lane from the wonderfully named Luggiebank village you'll come across a rather discrete wee entrance to this outdoor activity & falconry centre. It's very much a farm site so you'll need to dress for it but it's all in keeping with these birds' preferred natural habitats
- & this is the countryside after all! Open to the public there are up to two flying displays per day here in Cumbernauld. This gives visitors of all ages the chance to see a variety of different birds in the flying arena. No two displays are the same as the birds selected to fly changes with each show. These birds of prey experiences at this friendly centre between Glasgow & Falkirk give you the chance to go beyond just being a spectator & actually get involved. We've got a full range of falconry sessions for you to choose from at World of Wings in Cumbernauld. All include entrance to the centre so you can have a wander around the aviaries & visit the excellent onsite Cabin Cafe for one of their legendary hot chocolates or a bite to eat whilst the children play in the little games area. The introductory encounter is the Hawk or Owl walk option. You'll still have a good one hour & a half hours with the birds & time is spent going on a little wander around the Cumbernauld countryside with your owl or hawk accompanying you. Then there are the half & full day birds of prey sessions. These allow you plenty of time to meet get close to & fly several species of raptor. They both also give you a good insight into the work of the falconer & what life is like for both the birds & their trainers. The ' Ultimate wingspan experience' at World of Wings gives you exclusive access to the birds (and the humans who look after tham!) for a truly VIP private visit to this Cumbernauld centre. You will be able to invite up three people to come & join you for what will be a private half day of meeting learning about & flying the birds
- & of course there's all the time to ask all the questions you've ever wanted to!

Falconry on the farm in Northumberland National Park near Wark ...

This isn't just any falconry experience in Wales it's a just for you falconry day! What we love about this falconry experience in Powys is the fact that it is exclusive to you very chilled out & in a superb setting. These one to one falconry sessions are the very best mid-Wales has to offer & you can either go solo or as a pair to enjoy the afternoon together. If you're already familiar with Machynlleth in Powys you'll know what a lovely place it is. If you're not these falconry experiences are the perfect excuse to get to know this fascinating part of Wales. There's lots going on here (check out the Centre for Alternative Technology) & a real community feel to this Welsh market town which makes a day out discovering the ancient art of falconry all the more enticing. Your hosts for these falconry sessions are Barry & Luce. Originally from Machynlleth Barry has worked around the world in the realms of conservation ornithology as a safari teacher & tour leader. Now back in the rolling Welsh countryside of Powys Barry works with Luce tending to their birds of prey & promoting their conservation efforts. Luce specialises in animal behaviour & environmental issues & she has been involved in exotic species for many years. Together they are a dedicated & passionate team caring for their family of raptors. So it's with the Cambrian mountain range as you backdrop that you will be invited to meet these majestic birds with Barry & Luce. You might meet the likes of Lakota the Bald Eagle Isca the Red Kite Maggie the White Faced Owl & Altai the magnificent Golden Eagle who also happens to be a film star! All the feathered residents here in mid-Wales have been bred in captivity & your hosts will explain to you why this is an important measure in the conservation of the species. & whilst you get to know the individual characters & personalities of each bird you'll also learn lots about looking after birds of prey & the relationship between bird & falconer. It's truly fascinating stuff & remember each falconry experience in Wales is hosted on a one to one basis so it'll just be you the birds & the falconers. Over the course of the afternoon you will get to meet & fly a wide variety of raptors including the mighty Eagles & cute-as-a-button Owls too! ...

Book in for falconry in Wales & fly your own razor-clawed raptor for the duration of the experience. These birds of prey days in North Wales are offered on a private & exclusive basis with just you the Hawks & their handler. The man who trains & cares for these wonderful birds is Richard. His degree in zoo management has taken him all over the world as an exotic animal trainer & falconer. He's now settled in this stunning part of Wales establishing a birds of prey & falconry centre near Denbigh building an incredibly close relationship with his select crew of spirited raptors. With acres & acres of Welsh parkland & woodlands to play with you will really be in your element getting immersed in the sweeping North Wales habitat that these lucky birds of prey enjoy. Watching them fly free is a truly exhilarating & breathtaking way to witness the delights of hawking. The Harris Hawks are the real stars of the show making this falconry at one of Wales's most stunning locations an unforgettable occasion. The leader of the pack is Storm who loves to take off at the first sniff of a breeze making the most of the open space to show off his aerial skills & impressive wingspan. Alan is a bit of a free spirit & his brother Edgar is the mischievous camera-shy one. Hawks are highly sociable birds but remain formidable predators as you'll see when you begin your stroll around the Welsh countryside with your chosen bird of prey. It's all a fun game to them as they launch from your hand swoop around finding places to perch & observe you occasionally flying out of sight but regularly landing on your hand to check back in. That strong hunting instinct comes to the fore when Richard shows you how to tempt the hawk with the chase & 'kill' of a toy. And don't forget our Falconry Wales experience operates on an exclusive basis giving you plenty of time to fly handle exercise & bond with your Harris Hawk. You can choose to go for a stroll with them around the Denbighshire countryside or stay at base. As a little reminder of when the Harris Hawks met you you'll be presented with a disc of digital images from your day spent with these marvellous birds of prey around Wales's rugged countryside. ...
