parahawking
 
 
 

Parahawking is paragliding along side a bird of prey. It is a new and very special experience. Steve Millson and Martin Cray (natural history filmaker) have been working with and training birds of prey to fly with us, whilst flying our paragliders. This has involved training individual birds to fly with paragliders from chicks, We have at the moment a Peregine falcon, 3 Red Kites, and a Steppe Eagle, These Birds have been the stars of some TV programs; BBC wales "Flying with Kites" with Iolo Williams, and more recently BBC1 "The One Show" with Ellie Harrison.

This magical event is available as an experience day. It is possible for you to fly on a tandem paraglider with the birds for a fantastic 'close as it gets' experience.

This is Mr Black, one of three Red Kites trained to fly with us. Now residing at the Black Mountain Falconry centre in Abergavenny, He may want to fly with you!
