点评:70th birthday treat for me last August and I finally got around to booking it for this May. The communication with Laurie was excellent. When we arrived, we were so delighted at the setting, in a very large field in Gatton Manor, it could not have been more perfect, Laurie even arranged wonderful weather for us!! We then spent over 1.5hrs with just myself, my husband, Laurie and his extended family of Owls, Kestrel and Vultures, his love for these awesome creatures is a joy and privilege to witness. They are so well cared for and we received excellent, but not over the top instructions for how to handle them. Laurie, apart from being an absolute delight to be with, has such an in-depth knowledge which he is very happy to share. It would be hard to chose just one highlight, as the time was filled with them, but if pushed, it would be meeting Dennis, the Black & White Spectacled Owl, I would say he has a personality all of his own, but that would not be strictly true, he's very laid back!!, but we just fell in love with him, how could you not. Can highly recommend this experience and I suspect we shall be making a return visit, we need to get our Dennis fix!!
翻译:去年八月我70岁生日的盛宴,终于抽出时间预订了今年五月的。和Laurie的沟通非常顺畅。到达后,我们被场地布置得非常满意,在加顿庄园一片非常开阔的田野里,简直完美无缺,Laurie甚至还为我们安排了绝佳的天气!!之后,我们和Laurie、我丈夫以及他的猫头鹰、红隼和秃鹫家族一起度过了一个多小时。能够见证他对这些神奇生物的热爱,我感到无比欣慰和荣幸。它们被照顾得无微不至,我们得到了非常出色但又恰到好处的指导,学习如何与它们相处。Laurie不仅令人愉快,而且知识渊博,乐于分享。很难只选一个亮点,因为时间安排得满满的。但如果非要选一个亮点,那就是和黑白眼镜猫头鹰丹尼斯的邂逅。我想说他很有个性,但也不完全是,他非常随和!但我们就是爱上了他,怎么可能不爱呢?强烈推荐这次体验,我估计我们还会再来的,一定要好好欣赏一下丹尼斯!
