Eagles Flying is a scientifically run Wildlife Sanctuary specializing on Birds of Prey and Owls. We focus on "hands on" interaction between our well trained animals and our visitors. During our educational flying demonstrations members of the audience can have a bird of prey land on their hand or have Eagles, Falcons, Hawks or Vultures stoop inches over their heads while Scientists inform in a friendly and fun way. Our visitors can also visit our unique "Touch-Zoo" where they can play and pet "Tui & Alan" our Foxes, get pick pocketed by "Grizzly" our tame Raccoon, have "Monty" our 4 meter Python around their shoulders or get up close and personal with any of the other unusual animals. Get closer than you have ever been to the masters of the sky. Eagles Flying really is an unforgettable experience and a must see for people of all ages and interests.

Thanks a mil for a great day out. Brilliant for kids and adults alike. Well kept sanctuary with lovely, knowledgeable staff. The show with birds of prey is great and very interesting. Some kids/adults get to participate. But don't worry if your child doesn't get picked, you can do lovely pictures at the end and all the kids who want to, can hold an owl (the highlight of the day for my son who is a big Harry Potter fan :-) The petting farm was a bonus. Among other animals, you could see a fox, a raccoon up-close. The staff answered all your questions. We will be back. Keep up the wonderful work that you are doing there. It is inspirational.

5. Lough Talt Loop Walk
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 5 reviews
This is a scenic walk around the shores of picturesque Lough Talt in South Sligo. The lake and its surroundings are home to a diverse range of bird life. The lake also boasts an abundance of brown trout. The first section of this walk is along a lakeshore track with the return journey along a busy road. For this person families with young children may prefer to return back along the same track.

This is a really beautiful and peaceful walk around the stunning Lough Talt. The walk around the trail is beautiful and well done, the loop goes onto the main road which is dangerous and really busy so it might be an idea for families to just walk back along the trail. The views are stunning. The turn into the lake comes kind of suddenly and it’s narrow enough so take care. Plenty of car parking there too.

We’ve just returned from what I can only describe as the most idyllic, authentic, peaceful and sincere accommodation experience. Ox Mountain cottage is so cosy and comfortable and offers a welcome escape, a warm shelter and a place from where to sit and be in the serenity of it’s surroundings. Dermot our host had the stove lighting for us when we arrived and made us feel so welcome and at home. Bring all your supplies with you and settle in. Thank you Dermot for everything. We will be back. Sincerely, Marian and Sharleen.
