Young people at Chesterton Community Sports College and its surrounding primary schools were visited by owl conservationist Bob Morley, who is from Derbyshire. They enjoyed a demonstration of various owls in flight, as well as a talk on facts about the birds. Headteacher Lynn Jackson said: "It was a fabulous experience to see these beautiful creatures up close, and everyone had a lovely time." It's a real hoot at Seaton HouseA touch of Hogwarts swooped down to Seaton House this week in the form
of Owls. Bob Morley from The Owl Experience in Derbyshire brought into
school a variety of birds of prey to educate and entertain the children.
The girls were allowed to handle the birds at the same time learning
valuable and interesting facts about their training and care.
Evening Bob,
Just a quick thank you for such a great
fun packed and educational experience today!
Pupils here really enjoyed the experience
and your friendly and expert presentation to them. I'm sure our
Primary partner schools would echo these sentiments! We all loved the
seeing owls, especially the smallest one!
Be in touch with any images / letters of
thanks etc. as and when they arrive!
Thanks again and hopefully look forward to
a repeat visit next year.
Good luck with your new sanctuary.
Regards

Thank you - and your birds - so much for an excellent occasion
on Saturday last. We thoroughly enjoyed our session and, particularly
when we went on the Hawk Walk, felt very privileged to be joining Kev on
his training flight; there's something very special about being in such
close proximity to a wild creature.
We learned a tremendous amount in a highly interesting fashion, and
couldn't believe that we had been out for three hours!! Thank you for
being such a good teacher.
We thought that you would like to see some of the photos from
the day.
Thanks again
Best wishes
Anne and Paul Burton
Bob Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you very much for the Owl Experience day that we attended on Saturday 26th July 2008. I brought this experience as a birthday present for my mum as she has always been fascinated by owls. We all had the most amazing day and really enjoyed learning all about these fantastic birds. We all also enjoyed the hawk walk at the end of the experience and I'm sure that we will be booking onto one of your future hawk walks. I've attached a few photos from the day - I hope you like them. Looking forward to meeting you again in the future. Kind regards Natalie Harlow Hi
Bob,

Hi Bob We thought you would like a few photos of digger & friends we took at Centre Parks on one of your experiences! We love the one of Digger! John & I were on our honeymoon and we attended the sunday morning Falconry Experience. It was excellent, thankyou. Regards Adele & John Teasdale
Thankyou Bob for the wonderful afternoon we spent with you. My
grandaughter really enjoyed her birthday treat. In fact we all did. Being
up close to such wonderful birds was an experience never to be forgotten.
Would love to come again some day

Hi Bob
Many thanks for making a
wonderful day at Stathern. The children and staff all thoroughly enjoyed
seeing the owls and they produced some lovely writing and drawings.
I'll recommend you to the other schools in
the area.
Many thanks once again.
Best wishes

Hello Bob
Hi Bob,
Just wanted to thank you very much for the
owl experience, myself and my mum had a great time. I thought you and
the owls did a great job especially with the weather being cold and windy!
We both agreed our favourite was mini me!
Just to let you know, after our discussion
on the day, I listened to the owl calls on your web site and I
can confirm the owl I regularly hear in the woods at the back of my
house in Sheffield is definately a tawny owl!
I shall be in touch again when the weather
is (hopefully) warmer to do another hawk walk, I really enjoyed the one
on the owl experience day, and the rest of the family are keen to do one
too!
Anyway,
Thanks again,
Rebecca Stuchbury.
I attended an owl session booked for a niece's birthday last week and I wanted to say a huge 'thank you' for a fascinating session. As well as keeping 20-odd six olds mesmerised for over an hour, we adults were fascinated too! Thank you very much for an intriguing and extremely worthwhile event; Nick
Thanks for the quick response. Thanks for giving us a great experience. Many thanks hope to see you soon if not at school at Centre Parcs!! Little Scholars Nursery
Hi
there Bob Sam Crowder
Thank you for a fabulous day. The children have enjoyed every minute and learned so much more than we could have given them. Your day has fitted in so well with our whole school theme of light and dark. The Owls were gorgeous and so well behaved. We look forward to inviting you back and would heartily recommend you to anyone who cares to contact us, Janet Davis Headteacher Oatlands Primary School. Harrogate, North Yorkshire
Dear Bob, Thank you so much for a brilliant session of Falconry at Centre Parcs in Nottingham. I had great fun and the birds were beautiful. I've attached a few photos from the morning. Best wishes, Lindsey

Hi Bob thanks for your interesting
talks on birds of pray we all found it very interesting
Bob,
Bob,
We have just returned from Center Parcs, Thanks
again. Best regards, Mark
Divine.
Hi
Bob, Just
wanted to thank you again for your excellent presentation on these
marvelous creatures. We have been to Centre Parcs many times and indeed
went to see a great display of hawks, buzzards and owls previously but
wasn’t as good as your very informative talk, not to mention humorous. Juls
Hi Bob, Really enjoyed your show. Your love and understanding of the birds made it a fascinating insight into the natural world. Being 'fed-up' will never be the same again, fourteen vertabrae in an owls neck - wow, and the hunting techniques of birds, some solo and some in well ordered teams. (Is the the Kara-Kara?) And the fact that the feathers on owls are not waterproof so getting wet can be fatal, but then I saw a news item last week where Frog mouth Owls have bred for this first time because, said the news, the heavy rain reminded them of the monsoon season. You can be sure there will be another nest box for owls going up in Sussex. Two photo's attached. Thanks again, Tony and Jenny
Hi Bob. Our holiday ended this morning and we left Sherwood Forest and my daughter Blaise has never stopped talking Owls on our journey home - it was only 24 hours ago when we were at your Nature Centre to Encounter with Owls. My wife and I are profoudly deaf but your speech has made very clearly and very understandly for us to read your lip when you talked about your owls - thank you your superb job. I have enclosed fours pictures of your owls. Thanks for a wonderful evening. Best wishes, Robbie & Mel & Blaise Hanlon

get rid of the squirrels Hope
