We have been involved in falconry since 2004. After a great deal of research and an intensive falconry course we purchased our first bird of prey – ‘Storm’ – a female Harris Hawk for our own pleasure of hawking/hunting alongside our Springer Spaniel Sophi. Over the past few years we have completed Lantra courses, and have frequently hawked in Scotland with Harris Hawks and a Golden Eagle. Since starting out we have trained up a number of our own Birds of Prey.
Having been involved in Falconry for a number of years and after taking out friends and family with our Birds of Prey we were encouraged to form Ancient Art Falconry. In late 2008 we took their advice and wanted to share our experiences with the public. We have to say that this has been thoroughly enjoyable and hope that we pass on some of our enthusiasm to anyone who has taken part in any of our experiences and anyone who wishes to participate in any of our experiences in the future whether it be flying and handling a bird of prey, hunting days or learning the basics of falconry.
We are a great believer in educational talks in schools for children and have some fantastic owls that children find adorable and hopefully take away some knowledge of helping the Barn owl in the future or any other bird of prey.
We also offer corporate days or team building days from flying/handling to hunting. Have a look at all our experiences and see what suits you the individual.
Have a look at our birds of prey page to be introduced to our family and you can find out more about the history of falconry here.
Keep an eye out on our forth coming events page or read our blog to watch the progress of some of our training.
We hope that we may meet you in the future.
