This afternoon we had a good afternoon at the Hawk Conservancy at Weyhill in Hampshire - www.hawkconservancy.org . I was surprised that there were a fair few visitors considering we are still in the depths of winter. We mainly went to see the fantastic birds of prey flying demonstrations. The seating was out in the open and there was a cold wind so it was a good job we were wrapped up well. The birds flown included, a snowy owl, black kites (about 8 at one time), a harris hawk, a sea eagle and a white headed vulture (with an absolutely massive wingspan). The birds flew over our heads and across a very large open meadow (which apparently in the summer is full of wild flowers). The demonstration was superb and the lady from the Hawk Conservancy that was commentating gave us lots of facts and background info on the birds. I can thoroughly recommend a visit.
