Activity
Details
This is a fascinating introduction to an ancient and intriguing pursuit. It is extraordinary watching the relationship between man and bird of prey - when we visited one supplier, his bird actually bowed to him! - the product of many years' training. You actually get to hold the bird on your arm, and in the afternoon you will go out hunting with the falconer - this is truly fascinating, watching the bird of prey working the countryside.
In the morning you will look at skills required to handle the birds themselves and the importance of breeding and conservation. In the afternoon you will head off into the countryside for a unique afternoon's sport. You will share this experience with up to 12 other voucher holders depending on location. Approximately 5 1/2 hours
Important
