Home of the Finest Traditional FalconryExperiences.

Hello and welcome to my website, my name is Nigel Hawkins, I run a small business in the Midlands UK that specialises in private experiences for people that wish to escape the modern world and return to the natural world.  I am not a bird of prey centre.  My philosophy is simple: to fly my birds as close to their natural wild state as possible, offering a rare and privileged glimpse into the authentic world of raptors.  There are no staged displays or choreographed performances.  If you wish to experience my birds, you must do so on their terms-high above the countryside, flying free, exactly as nature intended.  Each bird lives a life that mirrors, as closely as possible that of its wild counterparts.  Their flight is not directed for entertainment but inspired by instinct, trust and an enduring partnership between falconer and bird.  To witness them is to step beyond the spectacle and into something far rarer: an intimate encounter with true falconry, where freedom is respected, nature leads and every flight is genuine, unscripted and unforgettable.

Developing a close bond and effective hunting partnership with a raptor requires an enormous investment of time-typically hours of flying and interaction everyday.  The reward is witnessing a fit raptor flying as closely as possible to the way its wild cousins do.  That level of commitment cannot be achieved when caring for multiple birds, as each one needs consistent, individual attention to reach its full potential.  My aim is to create truly bespoke falconry experiences, immersing clients in the timeless art of falconry while sharing the traditional skills and deep understanding that define this ancient partnership.

Together with my birds of prey, we explore some of Britain’s most beautiful landscapes, from the farmlands of Staffordshire to the stunning scenery of the Shropshire and Welsh Hills.  No two days are ever the same, ensuring each encounter is authentic, personal, and unforgettable.

Join us, and see the world through a hawk’s eyes…
