Junior Falconers Experience

(ages 12-15)

This 3 hour session is designed to give children an insight into the work of a falconer at the Hawk Conservancy Trust.

Guest learning how to use telemtry to track birds

We then look at the training of young birds, and how they progress, and you will be able to assist in a bird's training programme.

Try your hand at swinging a falcon lure, and using a radio transmitter to track birds. There will also be the chance to fly a Bird of Prey in our flying arena, and practise your skills as a commentator in front of an audience of your fellow experience guests.

Over a break for tea and coffee there will be the opportunity to meet one of the Trust's Barn Owls at close quarters, and the chance to fly this beautiful creature to the fist. Finally there will be the opportunity to improve your bird identification skills by sight and sound, and have a go at our fun quiz.

This is not an intensive course, but a fun and educational day for children to learn about Birds of Prey and the work that is carried out by the Trust.
