Your Private Falconry Lesson will begin with an
introduction into the Ancient Art of Falconry. The
Falconer will brief you on its origins as you delve into
a world you never knew existed!
You will then be taken to meet the schools entire team
of raptors. First up will be one of our small Owl
species. You will be taught about the species while you

preparation for the larger species. Have your camera at
hand as these Owls are super cute and do love an "owl"
selfie!
Then you will be introduced to the Harris Hawk you are
about to fly and discover about their unique
personality. We then make our way to the flying area
where the Hawk has plenty trees to fly from, here you
will be taught how to correctly recall a Hawk from the
tree tops to your gloved fist to feed and then to return
to the trees. You will have the opportunity to do this
several times and we will help you to get some great
photos and videos on your mobile device.
Under the guidance of the Falconer, you will have the
opportunity to engage in a falconry lesson. During this
experience, you'll take a stroll through the picturesque
grounds of Lyrath estate while the majestic bird
accompanies you. The bird will demonstrate its
incredible aerial abilities, gracefully navigating from
tree to tree and landing on your gloved hand at your
command. This encounter will reveal the remarkable
intelligence of these magnificent creatures and provide
you with a unique window into their world.
