Walking with wildlife
On the one-hour Hawkwalk, you’ll get to stroll through a serene woodland, in the company of all the usual suspects – but also with a few special guests joining them.
With an expert bird handler walking with you, hawks will be set free to wind their way between the trees and glide above the canopy.
A meet and greet up close
- The sky won’t be the only place you get to check out the hawks though. Adorned with a thick, specialised glove – the birds will come and greet you face-to-face along the walk
- They come sweeping down out of the sky and land as casually as you like right onto your arm
- Seeing one of these birds up close, their piercing eyes alert to every movement in the vicinity, is astonishing
- You can see the outline of every feather, how different shades fade into the next, their beak and claws bright against the more neutral tones of their plumage
