The spectacular falconry displays at Leeds Castle have
proved to be a huge hit with visitors of all ages.
Majestic birds of prey including buzzards, eagles, falcons,
hawks, vultures and owls delight visitors with displays
choreographed to music by castle falconers Leigh and Jo
Holmes. Audience participation, particularly for youngsters,
features prominently in the demonstrations, which give
a fascinating insight into the birds’ natural habitat,
diet and behaviour.
Darlene the Seriema, Lurch the African White-Backed Vulture
and Jack, the only free-flying Augur Buzzard in
the UK, can be seen.
Held near the famous yew maze, the displays are at 1.30pm,
weekends only (weather permitting). In addition, birds including
Hawks, Falcons, Vultures, Eagles and a Laughing Kookaburra
are also on display for visitors.
