You’ll be like two birds of a feather together on this two hour owl experience for two in Staffordshire! Hosted at Byrkley Park Garden Centre in Rangemore near Burton-upon-Trent in this visually stunning part of the West Midlands, you’ll meet with David, the on-site falconer who will bring you into the fine feathered world of owls on this two hour experience. You’ll get to learn all about their nocturnal and diurnal habits, and get to see these almost mythical looking creatures up close. They’ve all got different looks and personalities, from tufty eared Hobbit the Vermiculated Eagle Owl and Tilly the Barn Owl to Kojo the African Spotted Eagle Owl. Over the course of your two hour experience, you’ll get to handle and fly these stunning birds of prey at the centre, surrounded by beautiful woodland, hedgerows, fields and fish ponds - the ideal spot in Staffordshire to watch these magnificent owls take flight!
