Kingsley Bird & Falconry is extremely proud to be offering it’s volunteers the opportunity to gain their LANTRA Beginners Falconry Qualification. This is a thank you the hard work each volunteer puts into Kingsley Bird & Falconry Centre each year. Each volunteer chooses a young bird to train with. Sometimes how-ever the bird chooses the volunteer. At the end of the course Kingsley Bird & Falconry have a fully trained bird which will become a display bird, and each volunteer has a LANTRA qualification and the joy of seeing their bird fly.
Here are the birds and volunteers with their L plates.
