openingdayI would like to thank everyone that attended the official opening of Woodlands Falconry and Bird of Prey Centre on the 15th of November.

And to all those that couldn’t make it, but sent their best wishes.

The whole day had a fantastic atmosphere about it and somehow or other the sun managed to shine all day. (I had prayed to every god I know; from Gneisha to Thor, with a special “please” to the Aztec Sun God)

A big thanks too to the speakers; Siobhan from Wicklow Leader who helped me so much. And Terry Flanagan from “Mooney Show” fame who was so good to change his plans to be there.

And a huge thank you to Saoirse Ronan who said a few words and cut the ribbon for us, and to herself and her parents who gave some super prizes for the raffle.

Anyway, it couldn’t have went better and I just wanted to thank everyone for putting in so much work.

Cheers,

Tommy

“Woodlands Falconry and Bird of Prey Centre” will give the general public a chance to experience beautiful Birds of Prey at close quarters. The recently re-introduced Golden Eagle and Red Kite will be on view, as well as a selection of falcons, hawks and owls from around the world.
We will be offering you the chance to see these fantastic birds perform in the air in our flying displays. Also, you can get up close and handle these majestic birds as well as having the rare opportunity to take a pleasant walk through the quiet woodland accompanied by your very own hawk.

We are situated in Rathwood Home and Garden, just five minutes from Tullow County Carlow.2009_1116openingwoodlands0029
