We visited the Cotswold Falconry Centre not knowing what to expect. To begin we were a little unsure of seeing birds in captivity however it was soon apparent that the Centre really cares about the birds and is doing some amazing work by breeding some rare species which are threatened with extinction. The collection includes many raptors - each having very interesting descriptions as how many are left in the wild, breeding notes etc . We went in the afternoon so only saw one demonstration but this included three kites from the Centre being intercepted by a lone wild kite and the three kites all returned safely and willingly went back into their cages. The two handlers were very enthusiastic and made our experience great fun.
