About the event

We are welcoming adults in Essex for a chance to explore and learn about our country's incredible bird of prey species. The session will include a presentation and a walk by an experienced presenter with firsthand falconry and public-speaking experience on birds of prey. 

This event is suitable for anyone over the age of 16 and for all levels of experience (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult). Please dress appropriately for the weather. Please bring your binoculars if you have them.
