Hawk Conservancy Trust The Hawk Conservancy Trust is a conservation charity and award winning visitor centre
(2892)

The Hawk Conservancy Trust is an award-winning charity and visitor attraction, with a mission to conserve birds of prey and their habitats. Set in 22 acres of woodland and wildflower meadow, you can see an incredible range of different birds of prey species, from the tiny Burrowing Owl to the awesome Golden Eagle! Many of these birds are involved in our spectacular daily flying displays, whilst others are part of important breeding programmes. The Trust is also home to the National Bird of Prey Hospital™, that can treat up to 200 sick, injured and orphaned wild birds of prey each year. As well as a full daily timetable that includes flying displays, talks and activities, the Trust also offer a wide range of experiences to get even closer to these magnificent birds, as well as evening events to come back and see incredible bird-flights at different times of the day. Allow a full day for your visit as there is so much to see and do: https://www.hawk-conservancy.org/your-visit/

🧦 Rafiki, our Northern Bald Ibis, loves investigating anything he can find, including the Bird Team's socks! While this sock search came up empty, this natural curiosity helps ibises discover food in the wild.

Join Poppy and Rafiki to find out what they eat in the wild... hopefully something a little tastier than a Bird Team sock!

🧡 We are saddened to share that Arys, the first Egyptian Vulture ever tagged in Central Asia as part of our Central Asian Vultures Project, has reached the end of his journey.

It appears that Arys may have succumbed to poisoning. While the cause of death has not yet been confirmed, the possibility is a sobering reminder that the threats facing wildlife are all too real and are often encountered in the very places these animals depend upon to survive.

Arys represented a first for our project and as the first Egyptian Vulture to be tracked in Central Asia, his movements over five years gave us an unprecedented insight into how these remarkable birds use the landscape. Arys leaves behind five years of information that will continue to contribute to science, and we do not take that for granted. We owe it to him, and to all wildlife, to make that knowledge count for those still soaring.

If you’d like to read more about Arys’s journey follow the link to our LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7523762041497518080
