Just a 15-minute walk from Salisbury City Centre, River Bourne Community Farm is a free-to-visit farm surrounded by 54 acres of water meadows, home to llamas, goats, donkeys, and Squidge, the burrowing owl.

Squidge is part of the team at TWO Bird Experiences. Book a day with the falconers and watch birds of prey fly under the watchful eye of Emily Ryland-Langley.
“The past year has been a whirlwind for us here at TWO Bird Experiences, filled with new additions, new challenges, a few tears and a lot of hard work. Now, we are thrilled to say we have made it through to the other side and very excited to welcome our guests back to River Bourne Community Farm,” said Emily.

During the lockdown, James and Emily have welcomed and trained a new Red-tailed Buzzard, who has graduated from flight school and will be joining their experience team from May 17.

“Additionally, we feel privileged to have joined Project Lugger, a fantastic charity created to save the beautiful but threatened Lugger falcon. On September 2, we will be hosting a talk to raise awareness and funds for the project, and we hope to see some of you there,” added Emily.
