Hawking at Ashford Castle
Melissa July 30th, 2009
I am famously bad at redeeming vouchers. So, when I was given a voucher last September by my brother in law and his lovely wife to go on a hawk walk in Ashford Castle there were grave doubts that it would ever be redeemed. Seeing as I have a cousin over visiting from the states I thought it would be a good time to prove everyone wrong so off we went to Cong to see a man about a hawk.
I have to say it was a very cool present- the hawks were amazing to watch and to learn about. The guides at the school of falconry were incredibly pleasant and informative. Even Lily got fly the hawks- what an unusual experience for a six year old! Here are a few photos from the experience.

Thanks to Enda and Claire for such a fabulous afternoon!
