West Sussex Falconry

Founded in 1993 by professional falconer Sally Buckland

Having completed an intensive two year tuition course at a leading falconry centre in West Sussex, Sally purchased her own birds of prey to display at functions and events, both locally and throughout the South of England.

We have a selection of birds of prey, including Hawks, Owls and Falcons.

About Owls and Falcons
The birds are very much part our family and are therefore treated with the greatest respect. We only use trained handlers, and the birds’ health and wellbeing is of paramount importance to us.
We aim to bring our birds closer to people and hopefully bring a greater understanding of why we need to nurture and protect them in the wild.

Over the years, we have experienced all aspects of flying raptors, from displaying at county shows, weddings and schools, to falconry courses, hawking days and even pest control.
West Sussex Falconry is set in Compton, Chichester in West Sussex. Miles of open countryside and ancient woodlands surround the grounds, giving you the chance to enjoy the birds in the most natural of environments.

Special Events

Our events promise a highly personal and hands-on experience which will be remembered forever as a truly wonderful and magical experience with some amazing and majestic birds.

Demonstrating the skill and beauty of raptors and bringing you an appreciation, awareness and a greater understanding of why we need to nurture and protect them in the wild.


Our most popular services are Falconry Experience Days, Owl Brief Encounters and Falconry Parties for both children and adults.
