The
IRISH RAPTOR RESEARCH CENTRE is a scientifically managed
sanctuary for Birds of Prey and Owls. Situated on
27 hectares, the sanctuary is home to about 350 animals
out of 71 species.
Established
in 1999 the centre was originally set up for research
purposes only, but as a consequence of increasing
interest and local awareness, it was decided to open
parts of the centre to visitors.
In the summer of 2003 EAGLES FLYING introduced its
birds to the first eager visitors and numbers continue
to increase every year. The Eagles Flying Show is
both fun and educational for the whole family! The
scientists on hand present information on each of
the birds and raptors in general and if you ever had
a question about a bird of prey - well, here you go
- just ask!
