We were delighted to be invited back to Knightwood, and this time we experienced the thrill of falconry with Lisa from Liberty's Owl Raptor and Reptile Centre.
We had the amazing opportunity to meet some very special feathered and furry friends:
Arthur, the kestrel – just 4 months old
Woody, the tawny owl – 6 years old
Maloo, the peregrine falcon – 15 years old
Frodo, another beautiful owl – 10 years old
Tootsie, an African spotted eagle owl – an incredible 28 years old!
And finally Thorn, an African pygmy hedgehog – just 8 months old!
The residents loved seeing the birds up close, learning all about them and watching them show off their amazing skills. And, of course, Thorn the hedgehog was a huge hit too!
A big thank you to Lisa for such a fascinating and memorable afternoon, and to Knightwood for inviting us once again. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
