He has some real beautiful birds to handle and fly and personally I think he does some of best experience days and hawk walks around. He really cares about his birds and has such a deep understanding of birds of prey. I would highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked a taster session via Adventure 001. Wished we'd booked directly with Dan to reduce numbers. The birds have run of the show as demonstrated a couple of times.  They are free to fly which is great to see. Being in a new environment the birds keep chasing pests which was quite amusing for us but not so much for Dan. The birds are in peak condition and fly well. Dan gives you a true insight to the birds and can answer all of your questions. A truly great display!  Thanks for an amazing day!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked a 3 hour experience for my wife and I took my camera along. We had a fantastic time learning about and flying the birds in an open field. I took some amazing photos and there were refreshments at half time. Dan was very knowledgeable and passionate about the birds and I would recommend the experience to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We attended the 3hr falconry experience, which was great. Dan was a great host and very knowledgeable, we learnt a lot. The birds are all fabulous and welfare is of the highest priority. Great opportunities to take pictures. Will hopefully be back to do a smaller group session (booked directly) at some point! Practical info: helpful text received the night before regarding parking. Parking is in the community centre, toilets are available at the centre before and after the session. Hot drinks available at the break. Take a camping chair for comfort!
