What Can I Expect
Hawk walk experiences in lovely West Yorkshire! Watch soaring birds of prey when you head out for a stroll in the Halifax countryside. A lovely way to meet and observe raptors in their natural habitat.
Husband and wife team Kevin and Jo Ryan left city life behind to become the dedicated keepers of a fine collection of raptors that they will proudly introduce you to. They are passionate about nurturing the working partnership between bird and handler.
As part of your Hawk Walk experience, you'll get to meet lots of the raptor residents, each with their own character traits that will soon become apparent as you learn to handle them. For example, Ruby the Ruppells Griffon Vulture has an impressive 8ft wing span and loves nothing more than to watch everything that's going on around her from her favourite post.
If you love the cute factor, look no further than Boo the adorable Barn Owl who does indeed have the slightly surprised look at all times. Our favourite has to be Meg the Bengal Eagle Owl who adores slowly closing her eyes as she basks in the evening Yorkshire sunshine. What a blissful life!
Then there are the Harris Hawks. We think we can safely say that these two have our favourite birds of prey names ever - Jack and Vera.
Having met both the feathered and non-feathered team here in Halifax, it's time to choose your partner for your walk. And this is what we love most about this session, as you get to work with your favourite bird. And as group sizes are kept small (usually up to just four guests) there's plenty of choice.
Whether you'll be encouraging Phoenix the Ferruginous Hawk to swoop over the rolling hills, or watching in admiration as Popeye the cheeky Peregrine x Saker Falcon dives in at great speed, your Hawk Walk is a great finale to your experience in West Yorkshire.
