Hawk Walk Highlights.

Preparing for the walk.

Preparing for a Wawk Walk.

Before the walk commences our falconer, Craig has to ensure the readiness of each bird before leaving the Centre. The birds are weighed in preparation for each walk to ensure they are on their flying weight, an overweight bird will not perform, and jessie's are changed from mews jessies to flying jessies.

Gettting to know your bird.

When a suitable bird is selected for each client a brief familiarisation session is vital for both the birds and their prospective handlers. Once our clients are comfortable handling their birds and the birds' equipment is double checked the walk commences.

The walk takes you through beautiful woodland surrounding the Centre and, dependent on the unpredicatble scottish weather, suitable outdoor clothing is recommended.

Checking the equipment.
