Although the weather put paid to our full day experience, Allan and Allison made us
most welcome with home made mince pies and tea. We were invited to study the birds
being weighed and were able to experience the thrill of handling and flying them.
A visit here is a must and we are looking forward to our full day here soon.

I just wanted to send a note to you to say thank you so much for the morning we
spent with you on the 14th for my Dad's70th birthday. He was absolutely
overwhelmed by the birds and enjoyed the morning immensely (as did my Mum and I!).
We have some great photos (tons in fact!) and it was a joy to be so close to the birds
throughout the time with you.
The walk around the grounds with Bob and Guinness was brilliant, I loved that as
much as Dad did! Once again, thanks from all of us for a marvellous day and a
birthday present my Dad will never forget.
kindest regards Lee-Ann, Janet and Merv Stone
We had a full day experience for my Dad's birthday and it was an amazing day.
We didn't realise how much handling of the birds we could do, and that it would
only be the two of us, which was fantastic. The best bits for me were the barn owls and the afternoon walk with Alfie and
Jordan (hawks!).
I'm recommending it to all my friends and we'll be going again.

I could say WOW a million times and it still wouldn't come close to describing the
amazing experience i had at Mere Down Falconry. Allan, Alison and James made it
a real dream come true. They took the time to answer every question (even the daft
ones) and obviously love all the birds in their care.
It was fantastic to see all the birds free in their enclosures and not tied down to posts.
There are no words to describe the elation I felt seeing and handling the Birds.
I have been on a high and boring all my friends to tears since.

What a wonderful day Alan, Alison, and Stewart (and not forgetting Guinness) were

flying the birds ourselves fantastic very much recommended

Dear Allan and Alison. Thankyou for a wonderful day, its an experience we will never
forget. Your birds were overwhelmingly beautiful. Thank you again.
Both my brother and Dad are always difficult to buy for at Christmas so this was an
ideal pressie, fortunately, I'll never be able to better it so expect us again next year.
(ha!ha!) Thank you again for your friendship and hospitality,
YOU also made the day with your laidback attitude and friendliness. May your business be always blooming. Love Caroline

Having read all the previous comments I can only endorse what everyone else has said.
My husband and son had a brilliant day in April. My husband, normally a man of few
words, spoke endlessly about the day. From start to finish it was truly brilliant and
something I know he will want to do again - perhaps with me in tow next time.
Thank you all for your hard work and dedication. Wendy
Wendy LakeMarnhull, DorsetDear Alan, Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of the falconry experience. It was one of the best kept secrets and surprise that I can remember. What a wonderful morning and experience, just to be near the birds was a privilege and to actually be able to handle them well ........ With Regards to you and AlisonPauline Pickford
I had a very warm welcome and the birds are wonderful. It was a very enjoyable
time and I look forward to my next visit.
I highly recommend a visit to Mere Down Falconry as an experience not to be missed.

I booked an afternoon at the falconry centre for my partners birthday, the weather was
wonderful, the scenery was stunning, the birds were fantastic and gentle. it was a truly
relaxing, peaceful and a brilliant experience. Alan lead an interesting, welcoming and professional display of his precious and
beautiful birds.

Thank you so much Alan for a super day out. Educational and informative as well
as being thrilling and moving, and what a stunning location. It was such a privilege
to be so close to these glorious creatures of the air, so rarely do we humans ever
get to be so up close and personal; highly recommended.
Again, thank you for an unforgettable day.
In the words of a famous movie - I'll be back.

Dear Allan
This is just to tell you what an amazing day I had at Mere down falconry.
All the birds are amazing but my favourite was Bond!!
Oh and I liked your dog Guinness!
Liam Barron Yeovil, Somerset
This was the second year my daughter Ruth treated me to a visit for my birthday. I’m still not sure who
enjoys it more, me or her; but I get the added bonus of watching the delight on her face. By the way,
Ruth’s decided this is going to be my birthday present every year in future.
Our walk over the top of the hill with Molly was just spectacular and Whisper and Peace will always be
Ruth’s favourites.
Once again, thanks from both of us for sharing your birds with us and the pleasure of your company.
How lucky you are to take such obvious delight in every aspect of what is now your livelihood.
All the very best,
Del.
I wanted to contact you to say thanks once again for the fantastic day I had
with the birds and yourself, the different characters all the birds have is
amazing. The walk with Molly and Bo was wonderful, watching Molly swoop
down the hillside to my fist time and again is a sight I will never forget.
Anyone with an interest in wildlife should experience this at least once,
if I could have a Groundhog day this was it! There is no doubt that I will
visit again. Thanks to yourself and Stewart. Mike Haines from Yeovil
