WIN A PRIVATE FALCONRY EXPERIENCE
for you and your friends and family
Step into the tranquil surroundings
of Thoresby Park and experience
nature at first hand. Grasp an
unforgettable experience and
knowledge as you delve deeply
into the remarkable world of
Birds of Prey. From Bluebell, the
beautiful and large Great Grey Owl
to Tilly, the small but boisterous,
Kestrel - the team at Hawkeye
host a remarkable and exclusive
experience with their wide range
of birds.
Hawkeye Falconry UK have cared
for birds, both large and small
for over 30 years now. Originally
based in Shropshire, near Ludlow,
the team expanded around 10
years ago to form a second
location, in Nottinghamshire. The
team focus on the conservation of
birds and also provide educational,
entertaining displays at some of
the largest events in the UK.
At the start of the covid pandemic,
like all suppliers and traders
on the show circuit, the diary
cleared of events and did look
sparse. Therefore the team
contacted Thoresby Park, near
Ollerton, to see if they would be
happy for Hawkeye to undertake
experiences. The aim was to
keep the birds enthused with
excitement, to meet and fly to
members of the public, as well as
flying daily at the teams base. Due
to the amazing feedback gathered,
the team are now permanently
undertaking experiences at
Thoresby, in addition to attending
the usual calendar of events.
Alistair, who runs the experiences
at Thoresby, undertakes exclusive
sessions with his personal team of
raptors. The experiences vary in
itinerary and are pre-booked only.
Usually they are undertaken in a
small group of guests with multiple
opportunities to fly the birds.
For a more special encounter,
Private and Family Experiences are
available, meaning the birds are
there just for you. Photography
Workshops are also undertaken
for budding photographers, to
learn a wide range of photography
skills. For the more experienced
photographer, the day provides an
opportunity to refine abilities such
as high-speed photography.
