Full description
Are you a lover of the great outdoors and can’t wait to find out more about the world of birds of prey?
Enjoy a unique experience spending over an hour up close with these magnificent birds. A falconer will explain everything you need to know whilst you watch them soar over the hills of the Marche region between Potenza Picena and Civitanova Marche.
This activity is the perfect gift for animal lovers of all ages. The thrill of watching three eagles and a vulture in free flight will be unforgettable!
What we will do
The event will take place at the selected time at the meeting point in Civitanova Marche (MC), where we will be welcomed by the falconer and his birds of prey.
The falconer will release three eagles and a vulture, whilst we watch them take flight and soar freely through the sky, between the hills of Civitanova and the nearby sea .
The falconer will tell us about the birds of prey’s habits, what they eat and how they move about in their natural environment. We will therefore get to know these animals as we watch them soar through the air, land and be called back to the falconer’s fist.
It will be an experience in close contact with nature, set against the breathtaking scenery of the Marche hills. We’ll also have the chance to spot other species of wild animals in their natural habitat, drawn out by the flight of the birds of prey, and to identify them together with our guide.
The experience lasts approximately one and a half hours in total.
