34. Falconry Flying Displays

The breathtaking aerial displays at Woodlands Falconry Centre show off the magnificent collection of Eagles, Owls, Hawks and Falconry Birds. There is even Arthur the Raven who is one of the cleverest birds on the planet. Our new Indian Tawny Eagle has a giant wingspan of look for his great talons which are designed to snatch heavy prey. Our highly experienced Falconers Geoff and Lynn have a unique knowledge of the art of Falconry and the habits of Raptors around the world. They will happily discuss the birds hunting skills, what they eat, the history of Falconry and all the questions you have ever wanted to ask about the wonderful world of Birds of Prey.

Flying Displays take place at the Falconry Centre 12.30 and 3.00pm daily Easter to end of October weather permitting. Entry to the Falconry Centre and its excellent displays are free, an added bonus to make your day out at Woodlands Family Theme Park even more special.

12.30pm – The Wonderful World of Owls
Watch your favourite birds of Prey soaring and swooping over the beautiful Devon countryside. Years of patient bonding with our two highly skilled Falconers has produced this wonderful display of the owls at their best. They come from the frozen steps of Russia to the heat of India and the dark forests of the north. These hunters swoop with silent wings to snatch their prey with deafly precision.  You could be the lucky one to hold one of these magnificent birds on your gloved arm. The spectacular display with great takes from our Falconers will entertain all the family for forty minutes with time for questions and interactions.
