We are proud to say we were the first falconry centre in the UK to breed Red-Backed Hawks and are excited to introduce their latest chick. Pictured on the left is dad and on the right is the fifth Red-Backed chick to be raised here. As protective as dad looks in the photo, a week later he was very happy for the youngster to move out of the aviary.
A small bird, he is likely a male and has been named Pedro. Some regular visitors may know that Pedro has a very successful older brother called Diego, who does a brilliant job flying to people in Flying Starts. We are hoping Pedro will follow in his footsteps.
