Riverside Falconry, Newcastle upon Tyne

Fantastic experience, went on the Hawk walk with John and his Harris Hawk. She had been unable to fly for months due to avain flu restrictions. John was enthusiastic and passionate about the bird’s welfare, and care of his birds, and explained how he uses them to help children that are struggling at school It was great to see the bond between John and his bird, and to watch the hawk, swoop down from branches in the lovely private valley. She even flew between us when we stood less than a foot apart! They are birds of prey so are lured with fresh meat but that is just part of their essential nature, and even my wife who has always been scared of birds ( even sparrows!) had an amazing time, we even have the videos to remind us, if we ever forgot! Was like a bright light after all the Covid restrictions, and the best value experience of my life, thanks John and your birds!

My wife enjoyed the visit.it was a treat for her. The birds were beautiful.
