Halloween tonight 👻

In some cultures, owls were linked to witchcraft, death, and the supernatural. They were seen as omens of ill, portents of doom.

Why?

Nocturnal.

Silent.

White and ghost-like.

Living in the shadows.

Wise.

Knowing.

Thanks to a client of mine for this great photo of Ailsa, the Eagle Owl. It really shows off her wingspan and easy power.

If you come for an archery experience, you're welcome to help yourself to some of the apples in the orchard beside the archery field.

I've had guests ask me if I could feed my team of birds of prey on apples, instead of meat.

No.

The answer is no,

October in the flying field.

We are open all through the year, so long as the weather permits, so I'm still taking bookings for archery, fly-fishing and bird of prey experiences but the boat trips are now paused until spring.
