Mercer Falconry | Falconry Experience | Bird of Prey Experience

Bird watching area

👍👍 Really enjoyed the experience. Dan was so knowledgeable and passionate about the birds and there is an obvious bond between him and them. It is basic in terms of facilities (no loos after you've dropped the car off) but he did offer tea and coffee in the break. We booked via an 'experience' website...

Icarus Falconry

👍👍 Went to Holdenby House today to visit the Gardens ,tea room, and Icarus Falconry . We'll what a great day and great value for money.

Joe's Bows

Tourist attraction

👍👍 We had the most amazing afternoon flying the birds of prey with Joe. Eveything from the mischievous baby burrowing owls to the majestic lana falcon, whose amazing aerobatics wowed us all, was wonderful. It seems a lot of money but it is well worth it, because of the time you get to spend with each b...

East Sussex Falconry by appointment at Herstmonceux Castle

Bird watching area

👍👍 What an amazing day with Adam. I was able to experience a full day of falconry and had the opportunity to fly two Hawks, one falcon, two owls and two Kites. This is not some demo show, you get to fly the birds from your gloved hand. Added bonus is you get access to the castle and grounds. This was a...

RSPB Ham Wall

Nature preserve

👍👍 I was amazed this was free entry and only a nominal £3 for parking all day. It's a wonderful place for a walk with large and small hides to view the birds. Binoculars are needed for seeing the birds and there are useful information signs displaying a picture of the birds and what they are. I certai...
