点评:The birds of prey experience at Shieldaig Falconry was one of the most long-awaited things on our NC500 trip — and rightfully so. It absolutely delivered, and then some.
It was a truly fantastic experience to get so close to such wonderful birds, instead of usually just watching them from behind a cage at a zoo. Handling birds like a Harris hawk, a kestrel and helping with training a giant Siberian eagle owl was absolutely mind-blowing and worth every penny.
We also learned a lot about these birds and how they were used for hunting in the past. And I have to mention the amazing scenery and the lovely lodge that the falconry works with ;>
This visit might even have sparked a new hobby for me, as I’ve already started looking for falconers closer to my home.
I would totally recommend booking a birds of prey experience at Shieldaig Falconry, especially if you are doing the NC500. I can guarantee it will be one of the highlights of your trip ;)

能够如此近距离地接触这些美丽的鸟儿,而不是像往常那样只能在动物园的笼子里观看,真是一次奇妙的体验。亲手触摸哈里斯鹰、红隼,甚至参与训练一只巨大的西伯利亚雕鸮,这种经历令人叹为观止,绝对物超所值。
我们还了解了很多关于这些鸟类的知识,以及它们过去是如何被用于狩猎的。当然,我也不得不提一下那里令人惊叹的风景和猎鹰场配套的漂亮小屋;>
这次体验甚至可能激发了我一个新的爱好,因为我已经开始寻找离家更近的猎鹰师了。
我强烈推荐大家预订希尔代格猎鹰场的猛禽体验,特别是如果你正在计划北海岸500号公路之旅的话。我保证这将是你旅途中的一大亮点 ;)
