Tweed was born in 2002 and has proven to be an exceptional hunting hawk,
she hunts throughout the winter and has a hunting weight of 2lb 8oz.
At the end of a school display the birds fly between two rows of children
to the waiting glove of another child, or unsuspecting teacher!
Getting down to the kids level - Tweed shows off her best side,
while Bob explains more about the birds we work with.
Lady, having passed the lure gains height for
another attempt. The lure is a leather pouch which the falconer swings and the bird chases. This way, we are able
to exercise the bird and ensure she is kept fit and happy.
Jack - our male Peregrine/Gyr Falcon shows off his beautiful
plumage after finishing a Display.
As the afternoon light starts to fade, Lady, the Lanner Falcon stretches
her wings after her days work.
Max a male Gyr/Saker Falcon makes his Kill on the lure.
After a recent display at Charlcote House, Tweed meets
the public.
