Birds of Prey

Blatant Plug here. Went up to Thirsk in North Yorkshire yesterday for a half day falconry course at the Birds of Prey Centre and got to handle and fly a selection of falcons, hawks, eagles, owls and vultures. I’ve actually done this before in Ireland but still absolutely loved this place and the birds. The staff particularly were superb and I’d recommend that anyone (except ornithophobia sufferers) try the Hawk Walk sometime. If you’re ever stuck for a present then book mark this site.
