Something really different – this is a fascinating introduction to the world of raptors – birds of prey. Kira and the crew of KL Falconry have invited Sportability for a very special day of falconry, on Wednesday 26th June.
Part informal lecture, part participation, as you actually get to hold the giant Eagle, the Harris Hawk or the cheeky Eagle Owl and learn a great deal about these beautiful creatures.
Our resident expert, Kira will treat you to a display of hunting and flying that is both impressive and exhilarating. The birds will swoop low over your head, feed whilst perched on your arm, or flash into the lure like an Exocet. And it is all explained in an informative, humorous, earthy style by the hugely knowledgeable and personable Kira.
KL Falconry in Yorkshire is one of the biggest centres in the UK for birds of prey, with over 200 specimens! These include all types of owls, eagles, falcons and hawks and you’ll get to up close and personal: Handle the birds feed and fly them. With a fantastic selection of these beautiful creatures It is not only exciting and educational, but a great natural experience.
And please: Don’t worry if you have never had an owl on your arm before, you’ll be amazed at what you might achieve.
It is always a day of fun and discovery. It’s not about being an expert – absolute beginners or never-evers all welcomed.
The full address is: Bert’s Barrow, Austfield Farm, Austfield Lane, Hillam, LS25 5NQ
The plan is to meet at 10.30 am for a prompt start, ending at around 1.30 pm
You can bring a packed lunch, or if you wish to buy something to eat there is a small Café less than two minutes away.
This event is weather dependent, as the birds cannot fly in the rain or if it is too hot. We will expand more about this when you book.
We look forward to seeing you there, so, please put this date in your diary:
Falconry – Wednesday 26th June 2023, 10.30 am.
And remember that with Sportability anyone within our remit can participate free of charge.
