点评:What an amazing experience we had this morning learning all about Willie's birds of prey. We were with one other couple so we had lots of time with Willie and the birds. From hawks to owls we were shown about their care from being raised to daily feeding and housekeeping of their aviaries. We were able to have owls perch on our arms and go on a hawkwalk and have a beautiful Harris hawk land on our outstretched gloved hand. Willie gave such an interesting commentary about haibits, training, hunting and his beginning as a falconer. For us as birders it was unique to be eye to eye with birds we normally only see thru binoculars or the lens of a camera. A truly memorable highlight of our visit to Ireland. Make a reservation for this great experience which is so worth the small cost.
