I wanted to write and thank you and Natalie for a wonderful hawk walk today. Natalie did an excellent job, she is passionate, knowledgable and a wonderful guide for this experience. Echo is a beautiful bird with so much character. I was honoured to see him hunt pheasant today and the way Natalie handled it was inspirational, she was calm, assured and confident throughout the experience and it was an honour to see a falconer have so much trust with a bird of prey. His hunting meant he was a little excited and wanted to stay out in the forest a little longer but this all added to the authenticity of the experience. Being with Echo today was a wonderful, insightful and spiritual experience. I know I didn’t get to met you today but the warmth and respect with which Natalie talked about you, your passion for falconry, wildlife and the planet was inspirational to hear. Thank you for providing these experiences for people. I hope to come again in the future.

What a splendid experience! Anita is very knowledgeable both about the birds in her care and the ecology of the woodlands through which we walked. My wife and I both had ample opportunity to experience "London", a harris hawk, on the glove, and to understand how the birds need to be looked after, during our two hour session. We were lucky to have a beautiful autumnal day during which London was clearly very happy to fly and seemed hungry enough to keep returning for food from the hand.
An afternoon not to be forgotten for a long time.
Thank you Anita for a most memorable introduction to the world of birds of prey.

A wonderful, interesting walk with Anita and Wilfred. Loved it. Will be back to do a Hawk walk next year

Thank you for visiting us last Friday at our social club with your birds of prey. The members, volunteers and I really enjoyed meeting you, London, Diddly, Texas and Dougal and hearing more about Falconry. Your talk was fascinating and covered some interesting facts that many people are not aware of. The birds are beautiful and such a credit to you. They are clearly much loved and living their best life which is really inspiring. I did take some pictures and will send them through to you in due course. Thank you for taking an interest in our charity it is much appreciated

We had a fabulous afternoon in the company of Anita and her Harris hawk Echo, in a lovely natural woodland setting. I bought the experience for my wife Ruth's 60th birthday - it was a great afternoon interacting with Echo in this natural setting...marvellous...I can't recommend this enough - Anita's knowledge and obvious love for the bird(s) was outstanding...highly recommended !!

My partner's birthday gift was made absolutely magical by Anita's incredible wealth of knowledge, wonderful company, and sweet Echo's beautiful temperament. We found ourselves immersed in some absolutely beautiful woodland with a person who obviously loves and cherishes the area as well as knowing it like the back of her hand. We will absolutely be back, thank you for everything Hampshire Hawk Walks!

What a privilege it was to do an owl walk with Anita and Wilfred in the beautiful grounds of Chawton House! We have done many falconry experiences but this was our favourite by far. What made it really special was Anita's remarkable bond with Wilfred, as well as her relaxed and friendly style. We loved watching Wilfred soaring soundlessly through the big trees and we couldn't help but laugh when he landed high on a window ledge at Chawton House so he could peek into an upstairs room! But the walk was much more than just watching Wilfred fly - every time he took off he would land on one of our gloves when he returned, which made us feel very much a part of the experience.

Anita's dedication to her birds brings out the best in them and her passion for her work is a real inspiration. We look forward to meeting more of her birds on a hawk walk, hopefully later this year. Thank you again, Anita, for a truly memorable evening!

An amazing experience on a hawk walk with Anita and Echo today.
Beautiful woodlands with Echo by our side. Anita is very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about hawks on our walk.

I had a really enjoyable time last week and I'm so pleased that I opted for the woodland walk rather than Chawton house. A wonderful environment to see Sherlock in plus a little cooler than being in the open at Chawton! You made the experience such a wonderful one and I was amazed by the amount of information and knowledge that you were able to share not just about Sherlock & the Harris hawks but other birds that you have encountered over the years. A thoroughly super relaxing afternoon - thank you so much

We had a wonderful walk with Anita and Wilfred at Chawton House. Neither of us had any experience with birds of prey but Anita and Wilf put us at ease straight away. The hour passed so quickly, Wilf happily landed on our hands (to demand more mouse for his efforts!) and then demonstrated his flying skills, he really is the most beautiful owl imaginable. The bond between Anita and Wilf is a joy to observe both care for each other deeply. The feeling of calm after this experience lasted for days afterwards and we would highly recommend it and hope to return sometime soon and meet some of the hawks.

We met Anita and 'Wilfred' the Barn Owl and did a walk around the beautiful grounds of Chawton House. Everything was very well planned and organised, with Anita waiting for us with Wilf at the agreed meeting point. During the walk 'Wilf' was able to fly free and land on our outstretched arms - such an incredible experience to be able to get so close to such a wonderful bird. We learnt so much about Wilf and Hawks in general. The hour passed so quickly. This one to one experience is very highly recommended.

Three words: awesome, fascinating and awesome again. I booked this for my son’s girlfriend’s 18th birthday present. They both loved handling London (a 26 year old Harris Hawk) and I had a great time watching, learning and taking photos. Anita is a font of information and made a 2 hour meander through beautiful woodland feel like 20 minutes. London was majestic and extremely photogenic. Top tip - keep your video rolling or your camera at the ready, as you have to be quick to capture beautiful shots. It was more than a visual experience for me, the spectator. As you walk along, chatting away, you hear the gentle ringing of his bells and know that in seconds few, you will feel the air pressure change as he sweeps past, millimetres from your head. We all agreed it was a fabulous way to spend a couple of hours.

Thank you very much for our excellent Hawk Walk on Friday. Natalie was so informative and great company, Echo was such a brilliant Hawk and the woodland setting was superb. And you arranged the weather! Clare will not forget what she did for her birthday this year!

We enjoyed an entertaining (courtesy of Casper) and educational (courtesy of Anita) walk yesterday in fabulous morning sunshine. The passion for her craft and hawks shines through in everything Anita imparts during your walk. Her knowledge of the countryside and hawks shone through. An fantastic experience all round.

We bought this 1 hour walking experience with Anita and Wilfred the owl for our Dads birthday present and he had a wonderful time! Anita was extremely friendly and informed and Wilfred was a true professional! :-) We would thoroughly recommend this to anyone!

What an amazing experience! To begin with, Otto (age 11) was scared to hold London, Rachel was apprehensive, and none of us knew what to expect. but it didn't take long to be captivated by London, the Harris hawk. Anita was so informative about the life of a hawk and its environment, and obviously cares deeply about the welfare of her birds; we gained so much knowledge. The woodland setting was ideal too. Otto said that the best part was when London wouldn't come down from the tree to Anita, but he flew straight to Otto! It was a day we won't forget.

Just had a very nice walk with Anita and Sherlock. Despite a small navigation error at the start of the day and it being a little damp we had a truly memorable day, Sherlock showed us how 'elementary' precision flying is. Anita was a delight to talk to and my wife and I had a day to treasure. Thankyou Anita for the experience I thoroughly recommend this for a relaxed walk through the forest.

Fantastic experience, Anita is so knowledgeable and caring for her birds, my son and I spent an hour and a half flying Sherlock a Harris Hawk in the Meadows and woodland of Chawton House, would highly recommend this experience.

What an amazing experience! It was wonderful to be out with Casper and Guinness in the stunning woodland setting. Anita was friendly and freely shared her knowledge and experience with us. I cant recommend this highly enough.

I just wanted to send you a message to say how much we enjoyed our walk with you yesterday. Initially I was apprehensive thinking about walking with a stranger for over an hour but the minute we walked up the path you filled us with ease and instantly felt comfortable in your company. The experience was great and your knowledge and passion shines through making the whole experience all the better. We would love to do something similar again and will most definitely look at getting booked in for another walk. We look forward to another fun experience and hopefully meeting some of your other birds.
