My falconry day in Gloucestershire was hugely enjoyable and Ben is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. His love of falconry and years of experience were very evident and he took us through a whole range of skills and learning in easily digested steps. We were able to handle and fly a wide range of birds, which was both exciting and fascinating. Not to be forgotten. I would recommend a course with Ben to anyone interested in falconry and at what ever level.

I have just completed a falconry experience with Ben Long and his birds of prey in Gloucestershire and would like to express my appreciation for the most perfect day. Ben was so well organised the whole day flowed and passed far too quickly. Ben is so passionate about his chosen sport it was a privilege to spend the day with him. His knowledge was outstanding. My wife also came along on the day and was made to feel so welcome and part of my experience, it has inspired her to go on her own falconry day sometime soon
