A stunning collection of birds of prey are taking flight once more at Robin Hill after new owner and CEO, Lee Priddle, came to the rescue of Island company, the Falconry Experience, who were facing an uncertain fate.

“Lee was following us on social media and saw that we were struggling to relocate to a suitable new location at the end of a long lease” explained Sam White, director of the Falconry Experience.

“We were over the moon when he offered us a home at Robin Hill, we thought there wasn’t going to be a viable way forward for us as a company.”

The Falconry Experience and their 37 birds are now happily homed in the existing falconry centre at Robin Hill.

“We were so pleased to be able to step in and help” said Lee.

“These guys can now continue to do their great work with these amazing birds, not only providing free daily flying displays for our visitors, but also offering education and promoting conservation throughout the park.”

Charlotte Bell, co-director of the Falconry Experience said:

“Robin Hill is the most perfect location for our birds, this has been the light at the end of the tunnel after many challenges over the years.

"We cannot wait for the season to start and have big plans for three new exciting shows next year - so look out for further announcements!” 

If you can’t wait to see these magnificent birds until the park opens in April 2025, the Falconry Experience are now providing private hands on sessions at Robin Hill which can be booked through their website.
