Our Story

Bringing the Ancient Art of Falconry to Life

Kingdom Falconry was founded in 2012 by Master Falconer Eric Witkowski, whose passion for birds of prey spans over 30 years. Nestled on the stunning shores of Dingle Harbour, we offer immersive falconry experiences where visitors can witness the power and grace of hawks, falcons, owls, and eagles up close.

Recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, falconry is more than just a practice—it’s a living tradition passed down through generations. At Kingdom Falconry, our mission is to honour and preserve this ancient art, sharing its rich legacy while fostering a deep appreciation for these extraordinary birds.

the Nicest Things

What am amazing experience, I took my niece and brother to Kingdom Falconry while in Dingle. We had a private show and it was absolutely worth every penny to learn about these birds of prey and their unique personalities. We all lit up as the birds landed on our gloved hands. I can't say enough good things about our time and the wonderful, devoted care they receive.

What a great experience. Niamh was a wonderful host on our private tour which was well worth the time and money. Close up interaction with the Falcon revealed its personality and was quite a treasure to experience. Would do it all again just to spend time with this wonderful creature.

This was a really fun experience! We did the public falconry session and were able to hold a barn owl and a falcon. We also seen a snowy owl, baby barn owls, a golden eagle and other birds! Andy was great and explained a lot about the birds. The birds seem very well looked after. Overall a great experience and would defo recommend!

Thomas A

Kingdom Falconry could not have given me a more magical experience. Everyone was so knowledgeable, so friendly and clearly had a passion not only for the birds in their care, but also conservation and education. This was absolutely one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and I will definitely be back to visit again the next time that I’m in Dingle!! If you are at all within driving distance, I highly recommend that you take a trip and experience the magic yourself!
