Falconry Experience Wales Wins Awards

Falconry Experience Wales, which incorporated the Welsh Raptor Conservation Centre, has won awards for Outdoor Venue of the Year and Family Venue of the Year in the annual Welsh Hospitality Awards.

The attraction is owned by Barry Macdonald and Luce Green who have more than 30 years and have backgrounds in wildlife and raptor conservation. 

It’s the chance to view and learn about a range of raptors including the Bald Eagle, Northern Hawk Owl, White Faced Owl, Red Kite, Milky Eagle Owl, Hooded Vulture and Long Eared Owl. 

The Falconry Experience Wales operates from a new location at Adfa, North Wales, which is an excellent area for wildlife. 

It has three flying areas including a nature garden in an elevated position overlooking a lake, which is also home to otters. 

Raptor conservation days with popular naturalist and TV presenter Iolo William are very successful. 

New addition at the Experience is a Hooded Vulture Togo, who has recently begun training to fly to glove and will soon be joined by a female as part of a breeding programme to save the endangered species. 

The Hooded Vulture is persecuted in African, where its population has declined by more than 80 per cent. 

Falconry Experience Wales is a member of MWT Cymru (Mid Wales Tourism), an independent organisation representing around 600 tourism and hospitality businesses across Powys, Ceredigion and Southern Snowdonia.
