In one of the most hair raising moments of Series One Liz is narrowly missed by the outstretched talons of a hawk as it comes into land over her head. Hear these wonderful birds as Neil Mumby the falconer flies them for their daily exercise and they soar and swoop overhead. Then join Liz and Neil as they visit the breeding rooms where captive birds are able to provide new youngsters to keep the species alive.

Additional Information:

As of 2020, after being in business for two decades, Neil continues to own and operate 

Woodside Falconry & Conservation Centre near Lincoln.
