Gauntlet Birds Of Prey的点评
点评:Gauntlet is in the top flight of birds of prey centres in the UK. Family run with a big vision and impact on conservation.
The centre is reasonably priced, making it a great day out for families or solo visitors. The staff are passionate about the birds and actively involved in conservation projects, supporting work in Africa as well as the UK.
All of the birds are maintained in top condition, something that sadly isn’t always the case at similar centres.
As well as the aviaries (and other animals such as meerkats, ferrets and goats), the centre run a range of displays throughout the day. These include superb flying displays, knowledge about the various birds and raising the importance of vultures in preventing disease that can pass through the ecosystem. All of the speakers and handlers are great communicators, making the transfer of knowledge both informative and fun.
The 3pm show is the main finale, a build up of different species, culminating in a flying display of in excess of 30 / 40 birds all in the sky at once.
The centre also has a child play area and small cafe.
I have also attended their keeper for the day and several photography sessions, really well run, informative and packed with experiences. Gauntlet birds of prey is highly recommended, I think nothing about driving 2+ hours to visit, time and time again !
翻译:高特莱特猛禽中心是英国顶尖的猛禽中心之一。该中心由家族经营,拥有远大的愿景,并在猛禽保护领域产生了深远的影响。
中心的门票价格合理,是家庭或独自游客一日游的理想之选。工作人员对猛禽充满热情,积极参与保护项目,支持英国和非洲的保护工作。
所有猛禽都得到了最好的照料,这在其他类似的中心并不常见。
除了鸟舍(以及其他动物,例如狐獴、雪貂和山羊)之外,中心全天还会举办各种表演。这些表演包括精彩的飞行表演、各种猛禽的知识讲解,以及强调秃鹫在预防生态系统疾病传播方面的重要作用。所有讲解员和驯兽员都善于沟通,使知识的传递既富有启发性又充满乐趣。
下午3点的表演是压轴大戏,各种鸟类轮番登场,最终以30到40多只鸟同时在空中翱翔的壮观景象达到高潮。
中心还设有儿童游乐区和小型咖啡馆。
我还参加过他们的一日饲养员体验活动和几次摄影课程,组织得非常出色,内容丰富,体验十足。强烈推荐Gauntlet猛禽中心,即使要驱车两个多小时去参观,也绝对值得!
