点评:We have just returned home to the Fenlands and Flatlands of Lincolnshire, from Brontë Country of Haworth, West Yorkshire.
This trip was, without doubt, capped off with a ‘cream on the cake’ Hawk Walk experience at your centre.
On arrival we were introduced to Steven, our very knowledgeable expert guide and the star of the show ‘Henry’ the Harris Hawk.
My wife and I were joined
by volunteer Jennifer, who was gaining knowledge prior to having her own bird.
The combination of Steven’s astounding knowledge, Jennifer’s in depth questioning and our own natural curiosity and ‘willing to learn’ approach made this the most unforgettable experience, set within the landscape of God’s Country!
Henry was a reluctant participant initially as, due to a shoulder injury, I attempted our interaction with a right handed glove. Suffice to say, Henry was not in an ‘adaptable’ mood but when Steven lent me his own left handed glove - Henry was back in his comfort zone and provided us both with a totally unforgettable experience.
I have had a lifelong interest in birds of prey and am only sorry that I left it so long to have such a close up experience.
Now we have found you, we both very much look forward to repeating our experience in the future.
Special thanks to Steven and Henry - and of course the rest of the team - who made this experience possible.
翻译:我们刚从西约克郡霍沃斯的勃朗特故乡返回林肯郡的沼泽地和平原地区。
毫无疑问,这次旅行的亮点是贵中心的“鹰隼漫步”体验,可谓锦上添花。
抵达后,我们见到了知识渊博的专家向导史蒂文,以及本次活动的明星——哈里斯鹰“亨利”。
我和妻子与志愿者詹妮弗同行,
詹妮弗正在学习相关知识,为将来拥有自己的爱鸟做准备。
史蒂文渊博的知识、詹妮弗深入的提问,以及我们自身的好奇心和求知欲,共同造就了这次令人难忘的体验,而这一切都发生在人间仙境!
亨利一开始不太情愿配合,因为我的肩膀受伤了,我只能戴着右手手套与它互动。毋庸置疑,亨利当时不太适应,但当史蒂文借给我他自己的左手手套时,亨利立刻放松下来,让我们俩都体验到了一次终生难忘的经历。
我一直对猛禽很感兴趣,只后悔自己这么久才有机会近距离接触它们。
现在我们找到了你们,我们都非常期待未来能再次体验。
特别感谢史蒂文和亨利,当然还有团队的其他成员,是你们让这次体验成为可能。
