Raptor Management Course

This course runs throughout the day but we can arrange a 2 or 3-day course.

A course designed for someone who is looking to keep his or her own bird. It is best if you have already taken an introduction course showing you the basics or if you a have a knowledge of falconry already. This course is detailed and covers the key aspects of falconry.

Raptor Management Course – lunch will be included.

Hunting Days – October to March only*

This course will run from 10.30am until 3.00pm.

Why not join us for a day in the hunting field and see true falconry. The term falconry means to use a bird of prey to hunt for food for the pot which is exactly what would have taken place in the 13th or 14th century. The course will start with a personal introduction to handling and flying the birds. Followed by an afternoon in the field where you will be allocated a hawk to work with for the afternoon. There are various hunting grounds. Only quarry caught will be rabbit.

Hunting Days – lunch will be included.

*Available from October 2003


We usually like to limit courses up to 4 people. If you would like to work one to one or have a particular preference the birds you would like to interact with, for example owls or hawks this can be arranged.
