Amazing Flying Vultures

Be amazed at these magnificent birds of prey, a show, the like of which you will have never seen before. These flying vultures have a staggering wing span of 8 feet that creates a spectacular display that will impress even the most dedicated ornithologist or country pursuit enthusiast. The shows take place twice daily and after each performance the handlers are available to answer questions and the public can also get up close and personal with these remarkable birds. The static display is open all day and, if you are there at the right time, you may have the chance to feed these birds (not for the squeamish though!).

Les Dixon

Gun Dog display

We normally bring about eight dogs, some fully trained, some partly trained and one or two untrained. This allows us to demonstrate how a trained gundog team works together. Then we can show the basic steps of training young dogs and puppies at various levels of training. We find this is always a good crowd puller as the training for young gundogs is the same as for a pet dog. Also if time permits we like to involve children in the display. My granddaughter loves helping with the dogs and wants to be a vet.
