We were very lucky to welcome Alistair Leese from Hawkeye Falconry Centre (he is head falconer) .
He showed a range of birds of prey and demonstrated their flying abilities to all our year groups. Some of the birds included a Spectacled Owl called Domino who originates from the Amazon Rainforest. His dark brown fur allows him to disguise as a monkey, he then makes a call which sounds like monkey then when the monkey’s come to him he eats them!
We also saw a Great Grey owl called Bluebell and a Peregrine Falcon called Todd. Peregrine falcons are the fastest animal in the world as they can fly up to 242 mph.
Children will be producing some work in their classes based on this wonderful experience.
