We spotted the sign on the roadside for the Falconry and Sheepdog display, so thought we would go along and watch. We were not disappointed! Their first show back because of Lockdown, and David apologised several times if the animals didn’t ‘perform’ The ducks wouldn’t do as planned, but it was hugely entertaining, with David determined to get a duck down the slide....so funny! The sheep herding was amazing to watch, it didn’t go completely as it should have done, but to watch the skill of David regrouping the two dogs and working them to bring hundreds of sheep close, was amazing. Our favourite bits were Merc keep jumping the fence to get fuss from audience, Sweep sitting in the water, Glen’s attention to David, and then Alfie ..... the ultimate duck herder. Falconry was great to watch, with excellent skill and clear love for his birds, it was enjoyable to watch the swooping birds. The Covid measures in place didn’t deflect from the show, and can completely recommend this to anyone. Excellent work! It does get a little chilly, so make sure you take a jumper or blanket.
