I just felt that we had to thank you for a very enjoyable day on Sunday.

My husband who was very reluctant about his surprise, just cant stop telling all our friends about the wonderful time we spent with you and your birds, I must admit that the owl was my favourite.

We both found that your enthusiasm and knowledge about the birds was very contagious, so much so that he is still recalling his day out, saying we must do it again and that he will master that falconers knot. You also made the day interesting for me as a spectator I have some lovely photos of our day thank you.

Kind regards

Jane & Clive

Just a quick note to say many thanks for Saturday we both thoroughly enjoyed it..... here are a couple of pictures that we liked the most.
Kind Regards

Hi Andrew

We'd both like to express our gratititude to you for the time spent with you and the birds of prey last week. Birds have long been a love of ours indeed our garden is full of feeders and bird baths. We have seen a sparrow hawk in the garden but nothing to compare to your falcons, hawks and of course dear Winnie. I think she is quite a character - quite irresistable.

I would like to take a moment also to thank you for every consideration showed to us bearing in mind Norman was in a wheelchair. The way that the facilities and the handling of the birds were adapted for him is something we appreciated greatly. We were made to feel most welcome and nothing proved to be too much trouble and again I thank you most heartily.

We wish you and the birds all the best for the future

Maureen and Norman Wedlake

Thanks for a lovely day

Hello Andrew,

Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for a superb day of falconry. It was fascinating and I learnt an awful lot. It was a great balance of infomation, demonstrations and actual participation. Really great day. I shall certainly pass on your details to others.

The biggest surprise for me was the Harris Hawks, I wasnt a fan of them (partly as they are not native birds) at the beginning of the day but was totally taken by them at the end. The impression I got was that of an allrounder as apposed to a Peregrine or Goshawk which seem to be specialists. Im also very relieved that Jess came back!!!

Scott also got a lot out of it even though he was just a spectator, as he was not very comfortable around birds of any description let alone Hawks and Falcons but by the end of the day felt very relaxed.

Although Im not ready at present to start keeping my own bird I am very keen to do so in the future and you have certainly strengthed that desire to do so and parted with some great advice. If you have any web addresses for any good Falconry sites I would very much appreciate it if you could send them to me.

Once again, thanks for a lovely day.

Regards

Dan Scholfield.

Dear Andrew,

Hunting is my avocation and it is always my ardent desire to enjoy the nature and wildlife. In the pursuance of my hobby I go to every new place where I can enjoy shooting in different environment with different people. It was the first time when I had a chance to enjoy the thrill of falconry. Never before in my life I had experience to walk with these legendry birds on my hand and fly them in the air.

It was great pleasure for me to fly these beautiful hawks in wild. I had enjoyed every moment of your company, and your in depth knowledge in falconry is all worth praising. I have captured those moments in my camera and it will always remind me of your company and my presence in the beautiful landscape with Harris hawks.

In my hunting community I have put some of these pictures and our group photo at Nelson's house, which has gathered more, then 544 appreciations. I wish you happy Christmas in anticipation!

Thanks

Rizwan
