Loving Ben’s falconry experiences

Here at Into the Blue, we love hearing from you. It makes us feel all warm and cosy inside when we settle down in front of the computer screen with a nice cuppa, some Swiss choc and a good feedback to story to read.

Ben calling one of his many raptors to his gloved hand at his falconry centre in Gloucestershire

Mr Tipper’s tale of his falconry day in Gloucester was no exception. We know Ben Long, the falconer who runs these days, is about as passionate and experienced with birds of prey as you can get, but it’s so lovely when you tell that too!

Here’s a snapshot of what he said:

“The day was hugely enjoyable and Ben is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. His love of Falconry and years of experience were very evident, and he took us through a whole range of skills and learning in easily digested steps. We were able to handle and fly a wide range of birds which was both exciting and fascinating, and not to be forgotten. I would recommend a course with Ben to anyone interested in Falconry at what ever level.”

So there you go, don’t just take our word for it, Mr Tipper thinks these falconry days in Gloucestershire are a top day out too!
