Hawk on The Wild Side Falconry Display and Hawk Walking with Lunch Saturday 27 March 2010
Are you fanatical about Birds of Prey? Then this is a must do experience for you. Arrive at the Mount Somerset for morning coffee then watch a fabulous falconry display by Taunton based company South West Falconry. You will start by being introduced to the birds (Hawks, Falcons and Owls), during which, the experienced falconer will explain all about their diverse histories and then give a demonstration on flying and handling the birds of prey. After the display you will be treated to a superb 3 course lunch created by our award winning head chef, Stephen Walker.
After lunch you will be given the opportunity to enjoy our award winning gardens with breathtaking views over the Quantocks whilst having a large female Bay Winged Hawk (Harris Hawk) follow on and fly majestically to your glove for food. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and find out everything you want to know about these amazing birds. The walk lasts for approximately 2 hours regardless of weather conditions so please check the forecast for the day and dress accordingly.
Saturday 27th March -11am to approximately 4pm - £45.00 per person to include coffee on arrival, 3 course lunch, glass of wine and coffee with petit fours.
