Saki, our female Brown Asian Wood Owl, was hatched in captivity in 2005 and has been an integral member of our team since she was just 2 weeks old. She was brought up with the family and has always been a real character. Saki is always very responsive in the arena and at our “Experience Days”.

Cardhu is a female Eastern Chanting Goshawk who was hatched in Holland in 2005 and is one of just a small number in Europe. She always creates a lot of interest in the arena; not only with her acrobatic displays but with the unusual amount of confidence that she demonstrates whilst on the ground. She regularly makes herself heard above the crowd with her piercing chanting call.

Jura our Crowned Hawk Eagle is the most powerful of all African raptors. She has huge, sharp talons at the tip of her muscular feet and feathered legs. Although she is not a member of our flying display team she is always a major attraction as she perches majestically on her block in the weathering.

Our female Goshawk (as in ‘Speckled Hen’) is now 18 years old. She was owned by a friend of ours who kindly gifted her to us. After and spending much of her earlier life in a breeding programme she is now enjoying a well earned retirement. Hen is a hand reared bird (imprint) and unlike the Goshawks that you see in the wild UK she is very calm and relaxed when appearing with us in the ‘weathering’ at shows and displays.

Our male European Buzzard joined the team 2014. He is similar to the Buzzards that you regularly see flying high in the skies of the UK and is always an attraction; being able to see him at such close quarters.

Goyne, a male Lanner Falcon, who was hatched in 2012 in Northampton, but originates from Southern Europe/North Africa. Goyne is quickly developing into a ‘Show-stopper’ with his exhilarating displays and in large arenas he is able to fly ‘in a cast’ (two birds together) which gives an even more breath-taking display.

A Siberian Eagle Owl who came from our friends at Bay Tree Owl Centre. She was hatched in May 2014 and we received her at 2 weeks old. Ouzo was an instant hit with our audiences when she was first seen wobbling around arenas at just 4 weeks old. She is very striking in her colouration, being much lighter than the European Eagle Owl. A very efficient hunter in her natural habitat; capable of catching foxes and small mamals.

Our male European Kestrel is becoming a big attraction at both outdoor and indoor events, as well “hands-on” Experiences; especially on school visits as he has been trained to fly to the fist of adults and children alike. Kestrels, sometimes known as a Windhover, can often be seen be seen hovering over road-side grass verges, looking for prey or urine trails left by voles and mice. This is due to there ability to see UV light sources in the trails. They are one of only 2 creatures in the world with this facility.

Is one of the later “Harris Hawks” to join the team. Another one of our own youngster who we bred late in 2014. He is a very responsive bird; enthusiastically flying to the glove of visitors at our experience sessions, whilst also being a very aerobatic performer.

A Dark Breasted Barn Owl who was as bred at Baytree Owl Centre at Spalding in June 2015. He is enthusiastically flying to people who come on our “Experiences” at Ware in Hertfordshire and has adapted very well to flying throughout the winter months.

A Tawny Owl who is one of the newer members of our team, was again bred at Baytree Owl Centre at Spalding in May 2016. She has already become a great favourite with visitors to our Experience Days due to her friendly and responsive nature. The Tawny Owl is the most common of all our British Birds of Prey. It can be recognised by it’s familiar ‘twit twoo’ call.

Kaylie is a female Harris Hawk. She was born in 2000 and has worked and hunted with José since she was just 16 weeks old and can always be relied upon as a most accomplished and dependable predator.

Balvennie is a female Harris Hawk of the larger Senoran sub species and was hatched in Warrington in 2006. She has a very dark plumage and again is a very reliable hunter.
