From 11:30am to 1:30pm on Saturday 7 September, drop in to a ‘Hawk and Learn’ session on The Guards Museum Square with ‘Jess the Hawk’ and her handler, Matt. Learn about Jess the Hawk’s role within Citihawk, how hawking works and her daily routines. Matt will also share details of Harris Hawk’s, where the birds come from, and why they’re known as the “wolves of the sky.” As well as asking questions, you can take pictures with Jess.
