WELCOME
On visiting the Bird of Prey Centre you will get a chance to see a variety of raptors and owls. Our collection is all working stock, we are proud to honestly say that instead of a large collection of redundant raptors ALL of our have their part to play in the three daily flying demonstration. Unless on rest up periods whilst moulting All of the Hawks and Owls at the centre get flown free usually once or twice daily. Having a comparatively small collection we ensure high standards of daily management and husbandry.

The Bird of Prey Centre is now run in hand by the park, new staff have been appointed and have made considerable changes to the centre and are getting some fantastic results from the hawks. It is the intention to rebuild the remaining section of the centre this winter.

Bird of Prey Flying Demonstrations

Every day at 12.45, 14.15 and 15.45

We reserve the right to cancel flying demonstrations during inclement weather; fog, strong winds and heavy rain, unforseen circumstances may also effect demonstration times.
