Thieves steal birds of prey from Lightwater Valley

Three birds of prey are missing following a break-in at the Talon Falconry, adjacent to Lightwater Valley.

One adult and two infant Harris Hawks were reportedly stolen from the attraction on Thursday evening.

Anyone with information is asked to contact simon@lightwatervalley.co.uk or Ripon Police directly on 0845 6060247.

The Talon Falconry opened under new management earlier this year, replacing the previous Lightwater Bird of Prey Centre.

While run independently, the falconry is operated as an accompanying attraction to the theme park, with a separate entry fee.
