Falconry, quite simply, is the flying of a trained bird of prey at a chosen quarry. The bird is not tame or domesticated but chooses to work as a team with the man or woman in pursuit of that quarry. Each bird flies with particular skills: the eagle has power and strength, the falcon has breath-taking speed and the hawk has assurance and agility.

All have undeniable beauty and grace and the experience of flying and working with one of these wonderful birds is one that will you always remember.
Strathblane Falconry also has a selection of owls, that for sheer close up appreciation of beauty and grace is hard to beat.

To call an eagle owl and see it leave its block to glide effortlessly to land on your glove 150 metres away is just awe-inspiring.

That huge wingspan and those two large orange eyes unswervingly fixed on the target i.e. your arm, is a bit like standing in front of a plane coming into land.
