Birds of Prey Centre

Fly into the World of owls, hawks and falcons… We may not be the biggest Birds of Prey Centre in Lincolnshire, but we are perhaps one of the friendliest! We offer you the opportunity to get up close and discover what makes these birds masters of the skies.

Skilled handlers will explain why the birds hunt and fly as they do, where they come from in the wild and how they are trained.

Owls and Hawks

Willie, the snowy owl – born 2008, is hand reared as are Essex and Oscar the 2 barn owls born here in 2009 – both will be demonstrating in the park this year as will Socs and Lizzie.

For the smaller enthusiast we have our little Boobok owls – Betty and Bonnie – just the right size for the younger visitor!

In total we have around 20 birds here – falcons, owls and hawks and if you would like the opportunity to have a couple of hours with our falconer to really capture these birds on film just book a photographic experience with us – either as a corporate event or an individual – a truly unique opportunity to get some fantastic pictures.

Birds of Prey Demonstrations

Demonstrations, subject to weather, are planned daily with an opportunity to “Meet the Birds”.

Schools Working with the Birds of Prey

Name that Bird (Key Stage 2)
The Falconer will give a short talk on a species of bird, for example Willie our Snowy Owl or the Barn Owls, then from the information given a more creative name can be “invented” – for example “Christmas Owl” or for a Barn Owl, the “Night Ghost”. This encourages the asking of questions and information seeking, observation and imagination.

Birds of Prey at Rushmoor Country Park Louth Lincolnshire

Colour Coded Creatures (Key stage1)
Study the plumage and feathering of the birds – at first the plumage may appear to be one colour or just brown – but is it?

This study of around 45 minutes duration offers the chance to look closer and to identify birds of different appearance and colour.

This study will encourage observational skills, counting and recording results as well as working together in a team and can easily be carried over into the classroom on return to school.

For further information just complete our Enquiry Form and we’ll get in touch with you.
