Birds of Prey Swadlincote 3 Hour Experience
£89.99pp
When you join us for a Falconry Experience Derbyshire, you get the chance to fly a range of birds of prey including hawks, owls, and falcons. We typically start with a bird of prey handling experience, before moving onto flying birds of prey. Our location is central in the uk, Derbyshire. We easy to get to from Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, West Midlands, and Staffordshire. The experience session takes place in an open filed in the National Forest, Access to the field can be found at the end of Elms road, Coton in the Elms (South Derbyshire DE12), while parking can be found on either Elms road or Burton road. Practical footwear and clothing to match the weather is advised, as the experience session contains a moderate amount of walking and several hours stood up in the open. The Session will begin with and introduction and brief health and safety discussion. We will then go straight into the flying sessions. After flying and handling a few birds, we will stop for a midway break, enjoy a tea or coffee after you watch a falcon stoop to the lure. The session will end with a Hawk Hike, walking around the woods with the Hawk jumping through the trees to follow us.

Reviews
We had an amazing falconry experience! Dan was incredibly knowledgeable, especially about the Eurasian Eagle Owl, and his passion for falconry really shone through. He was friendly and approachable, making sure each of us had a chance to interact with the owl up close. It was a memorable, hands-on experience that left us feeling both thrilled and informed. Highly recommended for anyone interested in getting to know these magnificent birds! Thank you Dan.
