I provide the opportunity to handle and free-fly a bird of prey in a completely natural setting in Hampshire. I  specialize in 90 -120 minute, private Hawk Walks for individuals and families and small groups,  I do not combine bookings so your walk is private for you. My aim is to share the pleasure, excitement and joy of handling and flying one of nature’s top-class predators in a safe and relaxed environment with the focus on us becoming part of their world and being able to witness them behaving completely naturally while interacting with you as well.

Imagine taking a flying dog for a walk, that is the best way to describe the experience, Harris's hawks are very much like a springer spaniel with wings and they are keen to be part of our pack and for us to hunt with them on a walk. They are willing and enthusiastic companions that will communicate with us and one another if we are working with more than one hawk and the body language is fascinating to witness. 

At the start of the experience you will meet the hawk that I have chosen for your experience and a summary of safe handling and a few do's and don'ts so that you feel comfortable and safe during your experience.

During the gentle walk we will chat at the hawk flies and I will cover many fascinating insights into the birds, such as their place in the environment, what and how they hunt, eyesight, natural behaviours and pack dynamics, whilst you relax, fly and interact with ‘your’ hawk. Throughout the duration of the Hawk Walk you or the accompanying spectator are welcome to take as many photographs as you wish as a further reminder of your day and to share with others.

The birds used for the Hawk Walks are the Harris's Hawk a New World raptor species and one of the only known birds of prey that continually live, hunt and breed within a family unit, similar to the dynamics of a wolf pack. These hawks possess a calm and even temperament and, once trained, will happily free-fly and interact safely with complete strangers – thus an excellent choice when dealing with clients or members of the public.
