   The Falconry is located round the back of Wem in the countryside where they have a fine selection of birds.They do a lot of private showings where an appointment has to be made.They do talks to schools,garden centres and bird lovers from around the country.

   We booked in advance and spent half a day with various birds. We did a walk through some nearby woodland with three free flying Harris Hawks, it was amazing to see them behaving so naturally and good to understand how much the falconers knew about the birds behaviour and what they were likely to do next. Then back at the base we fed some baby owls (it was springtime) they were about the size of a tea mug and hopped around the table without a care. Cute isn’t a strong enough word to describe them. We were lucky to have a Golden Eagle sit on our fists, surprisingly heavy. The highlight for me was swinging the lure for the free flying Peregrine Falcon, her speed and agility were very impressive. An excellent few hours which really made me appreciate these wonderful animals and all the work and dedication that goes into understanding what they need.

   We had a fantastic hawk walk for my wife's 50th birthday. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work, and has a deep understanding of the birds' personalities and behaviors, and was always happy to share his knowledge with us. Will and Karl were the two Harris Hawks that flew with us on the walk, not only were they majestic and beautiful birds of prey, but each had their own quirky personality. A fantastic morning and we would highly recommend a visit to anyone. Thank you Steve.

   We had a fabulous time having an Owl Experience. We were able to see up close and have land on our arms, a wide range of beautiful owls. It was brilliant. If you're thinking of going, we'd recommend getting your tickets in advance as there are lots of deals available (depending on where you book the experience)

   Experienced the Hawk Walk for the first time today - it really was an amazing experience (even in the cold!) and Lisa (professional falconer) was great, very knowledgeable, experienced and passionate. We learned a lot about the birds and it was great to be able to see them up close. Having the hawks follow us along as we walked through the forest, and watching them fly towards us and land on our hands when there was a piece of food, was so worth it ❤️ Not something you experience everyday! We met Ivan, Carl and Ben (the 3 Harris Hawks). Carl definitely stole the show, he was so lovely, very well behaved, engaged and responsive. Also very glad I briefly got to meet little baby Ben at the end, approximately 10 months old with very fluffy feathers! Definitely recommend going for a walk with the hawks! Attached a picture of Carl.

   FANTASTIC! Just came back from our morning Hawk walk which was really great. Lisa is so knowledgeable and passionate about the birds. It certainly doesn't seem like it's a job for her, more like you couldn't stop her flying these awesome creatures if you tried! Ivan (Harris Hawk) started off the adventure, but also fancied a chilled out day following along rather than swooping for prey. However then out came Carl! He never took his hawk eyes off us and flew beautifully with us landing on our gloves whenever a bit of food was offered up. Fabulous bird and an all round memorable experience. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Thanks Lisa, Ivan, Carl and Ben for a wonderful morning. Well definitely be back to see and hold more of the birds at Shropshire Falconry soon.

   Received a 1-1 photography experience as a gift. From the start Lisa and Steve were fantastic, asking what I wanted to get out of my time with them and if there were any particular birds I wanted to photograph. The selection of birds they have in their care is spectacular! I was fortunate enough to meet some incredible birds and handled by two talented falconers who knew how to handle each to their best potential. I came away not bothered if I had any good pictures as I'd enjoyed my time so much I was satisfied just being there. My experience was personal, relaxed and well delivered. Would highly recommend to anyone considering!
