Feather and Fur Falconry Centre in Warfield held an open weekend over the Easter break.
The centre, based in Moss End Garden Village welcomed visitors for a tour of the centre with events which included talks on kestrels, peregrines, hawks and buzzards, an owl quiz, pellet dissection and a chance to get up close and personal with the owls.
And the centre welcomed one of its newest volunteers. A spokesman said: “Oliver first visited the centre on a Junior Falconry Day. A few years later he is now a wonderful addition to our team and even stood and chatted to visitors during the open Easter weekend!! There is something very special about helping people fall in love with birds and wildlife.”
Feathers and Fur Falconry Centre is a collection of Hawks, Falcons and Owls used to allow people the opportunity to experience falconry and the unique and wonderful bond between man and bird. They offer a variety of opportunities from a half-day hands-on experience session to family falconry sessions, as well as the more unusual experiences such as the family owl encounter or awesome bird of prey birthday parties!
The centre is also open to the general public to walk around and see the 22 birds of prey on site. With education boards, activity sheets and a gift shop there is lots to learn and see.
