VIP Eagle Day Kent

This is an extremely exciting day and one which will leave spectacular memories with the participant. You will receive instruction regarding handling of the birds and will immediately be taken out in the morning to fly one of the larger Eagles, normally a bald eagle - weighing approximately 4 kilos with a 5 and 1/2 foot wingspan! This is a fantastic opportunity to be near these magnificent and rare creatures.

Weather depending the bird will soar off into the skies, sometimes reaching heights of 5,000 feet or more. You will then have the opportunity to recall the bird to the glove and witness the speed and control these birds are capable of as they drop from the skies. At the end of the morning you will return to the centre for lunch and have the opportunity to watch the 12.00 O'clock demonstration. In the afternoon you will move out across the valley to get hands on with more eagles, including a bateleur eagle and tawny eagle, you may also get the opportunity to fly a Harris Hawk if you wish. This is an exclusive experience and is limited to 2 people per day.
