Yup he is the man!!! Wonderful customers this week Yup he is the man!!! Wonderful customers this week mentioned that they had met Norman a few years ago when he was very nervous and shy and they couldn’t believe the difference as he flew across the field all full of character. Norman is truly a perfect gentleman!!!!

Finally got to the amazing @lostcauldron owned by Finally got to the amazing @lostcauldron owned by our beautiful friend @cherrywallis. 
We met cherry what she came to do the amazing photo 3 with the very talented @lindablacker and Gimli and she has supported us ever since. Infact I can honestly say that without the help of Cherry and her amazing magical family I don’t think we would have raised the funds to move the centre as well as we did. I will always be so so grateful to this amazing lady and in awe of all that she achieves. 
If you are ever in the midlands please do go and visit her amazing shop.
Common Buzzards are an essential part of the Briti Common Buzzards are an essential part of the British countryside but many people struggle to identify one. This is hardly surprising as in the 1960's and 70's their population plummeted and you had to be incredibly lucky to see one. They have now clawed their way back to become the UK's most common bird of prey! Buzzards are resilient, stubborn, adaptable and absolutely beautiful.

1. Buzzard numbers have quadrupled since 1970! Less than 100 years ago they were a rare sight in our skies mostly due to direct persecution and pesticide use but there were many, many more factors involved and threats they faced. Thanks to stricter pesticide control, less persecution and introducing legal protection their numbers have bounced back and they are now the UK's most common and widespread bird of prey.

2. Buzzards are opportunistic predators (a trait which may have aided their comeback) and will take a variety of prey from rabbits and voles to lizards and earthworms. They also rely heavily on scavenging for roadkill and other carrion and can often be seen on fence posts along the motorway waiting for our cars to do the hard work for them!

3. It's hard to describe a Buzzard without using the word chunky! They are heavy set birds with wide chests, and broad wings and a broad tail to help them soar effortlessly on warm thermals. They often soar higher than the Red Kites so in areas where Red Kites are numerous we sometimes just don't notice that the Buzzards are there too! This behaviour and body shape earned them the nickname 'tourist eagle' in Scotland but they are much, much smaller than the rare Golden Eagle people are usually searching for. Their chunky legs and fluffy trousers can be clearly seen when they come down to the ground hunting for earthworms.

Why not come along and meet Mouse our handsome Buzzard along with the rest of our amazing bird team on one of our flying experiences of photography days?

Absolutely amazing day had in Yorkshire at the @na Absolutely amazing day had in Yorkshire at the @nationalcentreforbirdsofprey on their Zoo Standards course covering the new updates coming into force next year. Even though it’s additional paperwork I personally feel that as a public centre the standards should simply be a starter point for the work and dedication that you put into these amazing birds care and welfare. 

Was wonderful to spend the day listening to a man as passionate about birds as Charlie Heap with lots of other amazing centre owners.

Such kind words bring us so much joy, the simple a Such kind words bring us so much joy, the simple act of taking the time to write means all the cold wet hours, the time and effort in training and the dedication is all worth it. We absolutely love what we do so why not make our day and come meet our beautiful birds and let us teach you all about them. 

You can simply pop in and visit the birds at the centre or check out the various handling sessions including half days and birthday parties that we offer on our website. Drop us 🦉in the comments and we will pm the link for all the handling sessions or check out the link in the bio.
