Available September to March (Our full day is specifically aimed at those who are fascinated by the natural world and want to witness traditional falconry and the everyday life of a raptor, working dog & ferrets on your own private session)
Witness our Bonelli's Eagle and Harris' Hawk working alongside our German Wirehaired Pointer & Ferrets in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty...
Tailored to your interests and specific requirements our Bespoke Falconry Experience days are second to none and offer the chance to  participate in the most ancient field sport: Falconry.
I believe that falconry requires a time commitment and dedication that most people cannot combine with a modern lifestyle. I therefore offer you the opportunity to enjoy the essence of falconry – hunting flights of the highest calibre carried out in accordance with the sport’s best traditions.
I have access to over 300,000 acres of land. Clients will be collected at a designated meeting point by Land Rover and taken to one of our hawking grounds; depending on the location it may entail a little off road driving. You will witness my Bonelli's Eagle and Harris' Hawk, German Wirehaired Pointer, ferrets and humans working in unity, become one with nature and see the world through a hawk’s eyes. An adventure you will never forget.
"The only falconry experience in the world where you will witness a Bonelli's Eagle flying free at heights up to 2000ft"
A variety of options as to terrain, quarry and hawks and eagle flown can be selected from, or you might prefer a mixed day to maximise your experience.
 We offer lowland hawking in South Staffordshire and hill hawking in the Shropshire Hills, where you will witness high soaring flights.
Why not experience a range of flight strategies on our mixed day? Enjoy the rigours of the hills with our eagle in the morning, before breaking for lunch in the field, relaxing alongside the team enjoying the beautiful views. Then in the afternoon, experience a hawk following on in woodland and open fields.
I try and replicate their natural flying style, we do this by allowing them freedom to follow on (using us as their hunting team) An encounter you will never forget. Finally, watch the winter sun disappear behind rolling hills, face aglow after a day on the hills, whilst feeling the power and tenacity of our Bonelli's Eagle as he finishes his meal on your glove, with memories of an unforgettable experience.
For clients less able to meet the rigours of a demanding day on the hills, a more relaxed form of hawking using ferrets on low ground farmland might be a better option, or  why not combine this with some mixed hawking at a range of quarry species, concluding the day watching our hawks and eagle soaring the hills at over 3000ft. Any quarry caught can be prepared for you to take home for the pot with some mouth-watering recipe ideas.
A truly unforgettable experience!

Our hunting days involve a little driving to reach different types of grounds, hill sides & woodlands, allowing you the best chance to witness the birds flying at their full potential in natural surroundings, hunting after their intended quarry.
Please understand before booking that weather conditions are very important when flying raptors in the hills.
