Sophie Abbott I began falconry at the age of 12, my experience starting at a local bird of prey centre. After four years of voluntary work, on leaving school I started working full time with birds of prey. This helped me gain experience working with a variety of birds of prey including hawks, falcons, owls, eagles, vultures and even corvids. |
Experience the thrill of flying birds of prey at Swinton Park Hotel, North Yorkshire, one of the most prestigious hotels in the North East. Swinton Park Birds of Prey is situated within the hotels 200 acre Country Park, lakes and gardens. Non guests are however completely welcome, and the hotel can cater for food and drinks if required. Enjoy the range of falconry experiences available, these experiences provide a close insight into birds of prey as you learn to handle and fly them under the guidance of an experienced falconer. Each experience provides a lot of hands on time with birds of prey and a varying range of species from hawks, falcons, owls and corvids all within the scenic grounds of Swinton Park. We also provide opportunities to witness the incredible natural hunting ability of the birds within local moorland.

I hoped to share some of this knowledge with others and therefore embarked on my own project. I now have a good team of birds and I wish to allow others to experience the wonders of birds of prey in their natural environments and demonstrating their natural behaviours and flying ability, which is what I am so passionate about. I have complete Level 3 Advanced National Certificate in Management of Zoo Animals
