Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre

Looking for something to do this weekend. Then why not head down and join us for one of our flying display or both.

RED FOOTED FALCON - Falco Vespertinus.

This little falcon is found through Eastern Europe and Asia and winters in Africa. It is a regular visitor to Western Europe and the UK. Both the male and female are very colourful birds, this is Snap our female. The male is a blue/grey colour.

A varied diet of insects, amphibians, birds, reptiles and small mammals. The red footed falcon can be seen to hover, very much like the Eurasian Kestrel.

Unfortunately this little species is classed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.

The weather has been glorious over the last couple of days and the birds are really enjoying the better weather to fly in.

We are open everyday from 10am with our flying displays at 11:30am and 2:00pm.

If you would like to join us on our fly a bird experience at 1pm every day then we do advise to book online as spaces are limited.

If you fancy enhancing your visit with one of our other experiences they are available at 10am and 2:30pm every day and online booking is required.

We have been working very hard behind the scenes on something for our summer displays. This has been in the pipeline for sometime but we can finally reveal to you “Hamish” our new white stork ( Ciconia Ciconia ).

Training has gone really well and he has settled into life here at the centre brilliantly. We are still working with him behind the scenes but he is now in his aviary for everyone to greet.

White storks breed within Europe and winter in Africa and South Africa, making them a long distance migrant. White storks will eat insects, amphibians, fish, reptiles, small animals and birds.

Thanks to conservation projects such as the white stork project, these magnificent birds are once again in uk skies.

Good Morning and what a morning it is. The perfect way to start the weekend, dry, warm and blue skies.

We prefer it this way and so do our birds, after many wet and windy days it’s great to have some nice weather for the birds to fly well in.

They should do exactly that today in our 11:30am & 2:00pm demonstrations.

Hope to see you all then.
