点评:This place is a MUST visit-while the small cave tour is fine, the birds of prey center is absolutely world class. Not only do they have birds of prey from all over the world including many types of hawks owls and eagles but some more unique birds as well like kites and caracaras.
They run 3 different bird flying shows daily in their spacious outdoor arena with each show being unique in terms of the featured birds. We stayed for two show they were so good. Shout out to Elliot and Patrick!
If you really want to go all in (like us) book a 1-hour private hawk walk in which you get to fly some Harris hawks like a junior falconer. We were under the expert supervision of Declan who provided instructions and took pictures and led us on a walk in the woods with the hungry birds who quickly found and dispatched two mice and a frog. This private experience include all the bird shows as well as the cave tour.
There’s also a nice farm store where they make and sell cheese and other items if you want to have a mini picnic for lunch, which we did.
Do NOT miss this place!
翻译:这里绝对值得一去——虽然小型洞穴之旅也不错,但猛禽中心才是真正的世界级。这里不仅有来自世界各地的猛禽,包括各种鹰、猫头鹰和雕,还有一些比较独特的鸟类,比如鸢和卡拉鹰。
他们每天在宽敞的户外场地上演三场不同的鸟类飞行表演,每场表演的鸟类都各具特色。我们看了两场,都非常精彩。特别感谢Elliot和Patrick!
如果你想体验更完整的猛禽之旅(就像我们一样),可以预订一个小时的私人猛禽漫步之旅,体验像初级驯鹰师一样放飞哈里斯鹰的乐趣。我们由经验丰富的Declan全程指导,他不仅讲解了操作方法,还帮我们拍照,并带领我们与这些饥饿的猛禽一起漫步林间。这些猛禽很快就找到了两只老鼠和一只青蛙,并迅速将其消灭。这项私人体验包含所有鸟类表演以及洞穴之旅。
这里还有一家很棒的农产品商店,他们自制并出售奶酪和其他农产品,如果你想来个迷你野餐午餐,这里是个不错的选择,我们就是这么做的。
千万不要错过这个地方!
