When you visit the Hawk Conservancy Trust you will witness breath-taking flying demonstrations, enjoy a full timetable of daily activities and witness our team’s passion and enthusiasm for birds of prey (it is truly infectious!).
In November we gave all of our birds (and their aviaries) their annual health check and general ‘MOT’.
Boe, our Egyptian Vulture, is such an inquisitive bird and brilliant to work with. She really likes to know what we’re up to each time we go in her aviary and investigates everything, including the camera!

In April, we released a wild Peregrine Falcon back to the wild after having been treated, in our National Bird of Prey Hospital, for an abscess in its throat.

This sighting is the first since it was ringed as a chick.
