Author Bio
Sarah Jane Manarin runs Coda Falconry, an award-winning bird of prey center based in West London and she is also a university lecturer on falconry and its uses. 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.
