Dorset Falconry Park Features On Countryfile

Last Sunday, 12th June, BBC’s Countryfile featured an excellent interview with Martin Ballam of Xtreme Falconry at Dorset Falconry Park which they visited at the end of last month.

You can watch the episode HERE (or on Catch up or BBC iPlayer) – 9 mins & 50 secs in.

Martin discusses the plight and controversy regarding the White Tailed Sea Eagle – something which he has offered to educate West Dorset MP Chris Loder on more than one occasion since his comments in February 2022 (read more HERE).

The photograph is of Brianna, their White Tailed Sea Eagle.

Xtreme Falconry Now Reopened

Yesterday morning, Dorset Falconry Park reopened.  After a very long period of closure Martin and his team are really looking forward to welcoming people back to the park.
Not to be missed are their flying displays at 11am and 3.30pm.

You can also indulge in a cream tea or cake in between the inevitable showers we have forecast.

On Saturday 12th June 2021 there will be a Conservation Day for ‘Project Lugger’ a charity they support whose aims are exceedingly simple in their aim and extremely difficult in their execution. Project Lugger is a charity organisation created to stop/prevent the cruel killing of the lugger falcon.

Girl Guides Visit Xtreme Falconry

Yesterday, Girl Guide leader, Emma House took her girls to visit Xtreme Falconry, just outside Dorchester.

They were fortunate enough to have Bob Dalton give up his time to speak to the girls and present them with an educational pack in support of Project Lugger.  Emma commented: “One of the many things I love about being a guider is being able to take the girls out to experience new things. The [Ballam] family really were so accommodating and gave the girls a fantastic experience. We certainly didn’t expect such an hands on experience! Amazing! Thank you! And thank you to Bob Dalton from Project Lugger for explaining the project and it’s importance, we hope we can follow its progress.“

On Saturday 12th June 2021 there will be a Conservation Day for ‘Project Lugger’ a charity they support whose aims are exceedingly simple in their aim and extremely difficult in their execution. Project Lugger is a charity organisation created to stop/prevent the cruel killing of the lugger falcon.

Lugger FalconPopular methods used to kill these innocent birds consist of using deadly traps out in the desert or using them as ‘lure birds’, to catch more ‘impressive, substantial’ falcons. The campaign was set up in May 2017 by U.K. falconer – Bob Dalton.  The aim is to halt the decline of the species and where possible, when circumstances permit, help with repopulation by reintroduction and species management.   You can support/sponsor Project Lugger HERE.
