Sarah-Jane Manarin
Sarah-Jane Manarin has worked with both captive and wild birds of prey for over 20 years and started the award-winning Coda Falconry bird of prey centre in 2012. As well as running educational experience days within the centre, Sarah-Jane founded the Featherwell Foundation charity, which focuses on rescuing and rehabilitating wild and captive birds around the globe. Sarah-Jane shares her knowledge and passion of raptors on a variety of platforms, including performing a Tedx talk on the importance of birds, promoting various women in business programs and sharing the lives of her rehabilitation animals on YouTube.
Kate Harris lives in the South Cambridgeshire countryside, home to fantastic daily aerial displays from red kites, buzzards and kestrels. Stemming from a display at a castle in her childhood, Harris’s fascination with birds of prey can be traced back to a single moment of watching a Kestrel hover above a lure. With an interest specifically in owls, her appreciation for these majestic creatures doesn’t stop with their physiology and capabilities; rather, their longstanding history as part of a human’s daily life.
