THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THE FAMILY THAT WANTS EVERYTHING.
As a recent prodigal to the Americymru site after a year trading and travelling across the UK, I have taken the opportunity of looking through many of the amazing photographs upon the site. While looking at some lovely shots of the Red Hawk taken by Brett Hull, I recalled some of the lovely Raptor moments I have experienced during this year at the Re-enactment Fayres in the UK. (Renaissance Fayres I believe they are in the US)
At the Battle of Mortimer's Cross last year, just outside Leominster and almost in Wales we had a selection of birds brought down from the newly developing project from North Wales.
In addition to raptors they had owls and each were beautifully hand- tame and had clearly been well looked after.

It is with great delight that I read upon Facebook that the Coastal Park Project at Conwy has now moved forward and is holding open days in November and December
From their own information :
The Coastal Hawks Project is a community interest company, that set up in 2009 in Rhyl, North Wales as a seagull detterent.
The company only employs 18 - 25 year old long term unemployed. We train them in several areas including basic falconry.
In 2011 the company moved over to Conwy to become a seagull deterrent and tourist attraction and had great success at this.
