- An expert falconer who will teach you how to handle and feed the birds of prey and demonstrate the birds' hunting skills.
- You can choose to include the services of a superb private chef to prepare a delicious lunch or afternoon tea.
Your falconer will not only to demonstrate how to handle the birds, but how they work with them and make the most of their natural, intuitive hunting skills. Working in tandem with the birds and the working cocker spaniel, the falconer encourages them to use their pinpoint accuracy and flying skills to identify and capture their prey. This experience will allow the intelligence and splendour of these birds of prey to truly amaze you.
