Yes,
we have done it again at the National Countrysports Fair! We
have attracted Europe's foremost team of falconers to the 2011
event at Moira Demesne on 28 & 29 May. The Phoenix Falconry Team
from Perthshire will travel to the National Countrysports Fair
where they will not only fly their magnificent birds of prey in
the show's Main Arena twice each day but also man the Falconry
Mews, a purpose built facility at the show which highlights the
more than twenty birds of prey that will accompany the team.
It's here at the falconry mews where the
public can really get up close to the falcons, hawks, eagles and
owls from the Phoenix Falconry Team who are based
near Gleneagles in Scotland. Team leader, Adrian
Hallgarth is one of four team members who regularly visit the
National Countrysports Fair which is, by his own admission, his
favourite game & country fair! In addition to the twice-daily
flying displays, the birds of prey will be on view in the
BASC Arena each day where team members
will explain the origins of the birds and give an insight into
the wonderful world of falconry.
