From Schools:

Dear Martin and Wesley

Thank you for the excellent Bird of Prey demonstartion you gave to St. Martin’s School last week. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed seeing and hearing about all the birds.

I have received many pictures and letters from the children showing how much they had learned – even the very youngest had something they had remembered, to write about.

I am very pleased to have been able to end my twenty years associated with the school in such spectacular fashion and extend my grateful thanks to you both.

Yours sincerely

Sandie

From Hawk Days:

I booked a half day adventure as a present for Paul, my husband. Neither Paul or myself really knew what to expect from the hawk afternoon and I have to say we were a little apprehensive.

There was absolutely no need! I can’t express enough how much we thoroughly enjoyed our day. For Paul, handling the Harris Hawk and just being that close to such a majesitc creature was a dream come true. We are absoultely hooked.

I have to say that under the instruction of Martin with his expertise and passion for the birds just added to an excellent experience that we hope to repeat as soon as we can.

I would like to thank everyone for a wonderful day and hope to see you soon.

Regards

Mrs Walker

Thank you for making for maing our day out so exciting and enlightening. It was fascinating ‘talking’ to the birds.
We all thought Martin deserved a medal for all the work he did whilst flying the birds. The displays were thrilling! His explanations were educational without being boring. In fact they were so entertaining – he should be on the stage! We can see just how much you love and respect your birds.
Keep up the good work.

Regards

A very satisfied and sunburnt customer
