Try falconry

“Sunday morning arrived, the rain had fallen through the night and morning brought clearing skies and gusts of wind. There was a chill in the air, that freshness that a good winter’s day bestows. [...] Getting to wander around the delightful grounds of Mount Ephraim, choosing different places to fly, having a Harris Hawk follow you as you walk, it all adds to the moment. [...] having them land on your glove or swoop at breakneck speed past you is amazing, coming away with knowledge and an understanding of how falconry has shaped our every day language, that rounded out a very special morning.”

“We had a general introduction to falconry, Falconry Scotland and the birds before walking over to the lawns at the side of the castle to see our first bird, the Kestral in action. We each got several turns of having the bird flying to the glove, encouraged by a tasty morsel of food, he was then happy to sit and eat on the glove so we got a really good look at the birds up close. [...] For this bird we took it a walk past the castle and along the river side, back through an open paddock and eventually back to the centre. This part lasted about an hour and we were able to see the bird engaging in different flying techniques with plenty opportunities to have it flying to everyone's glove many times.”
