The Hawk Conservancy - Andover
The 15th May provided the unique opportunity to get up close with some of the residents of the Hawk Conservancy, with thanks to Timeline Events.

As part of the day we were looked after by two of the enthusiastic falconers who flew an array of birds for the cameras. Some were placed as static subjects, while others were flown for the photographers to capture. The Andover based centre boasts a 22 acre site with over 150 birds and an array of backdrops and locations, including a meadow and wooded areas.

Yarak Birds of Prey - Cullompton
Yarak Birds of Prey is the most unique Bird of Prey and Falconry Hawk , Eagle ,Owl and Falcons centre in the Southwest of England. It is located near Cullompton just off the M5 in Devon. The centre caters for public displays and private hands on experiences.
The centre has been developed over many years and is surrounded by undulating farmland which offers an ideal landscape in which to observe and fly the large variety of birds at the centre. My visit was part of a birthday present which incorporated a varied flying experience and some additional time for photography.
