Kestrel
- Quiver
Quiver, a beautiful male Kestrel but when he was brought to
us he was so badly injured after flying into discarded wire
and twine there seemed very little hope of survival. It took
18 months but he is now recovered fully but due to the fact
that he is partially imprinted it would not have been possible
to release him into the wild. He is therefore now a valuable
member of the flying display team and popular with educational
visits.

Barbary
Falcon - Kamzin
As his name suggest originates from the Barbary coast of
Africa. Part of a captive breeding program in Wales, he started
his training with us at 12 weeks of age and now at 2 years he
is a magnificent, agile falcon, who demonstrates his skills
by flying to a lure.

Hobby
- Bilbo
Hobby`s are one of our summer visitors from Africa, they come
here to breed, sadly Bilbo is another casualty of Man`s disregard
to Nature. He was caught up in netting and he sustained very
serious injuries. He does now have an important role as an ambassador
for the need for conservation and hopefully will be part of
our breeding program.
