Monastery National School Ardee

On Wednesday, May 4th we had some very special visitors to Monastery NS. Ian Patterson visited with his wonderful collection of birds of prey. They included a Barn Owl, a Long Earred-Owl, a Kestrel, a Buzzard and a Peregrine Falcon.

He did two live shows, one with 1st to sixth class and the other with infants. The boys got to listen to some very interesting facts about the different birds while watching them flying to a perch. Some of the boys also got to try on the falconer's glove and have a bird fly to it. Our infants also got to stroke and touch a Peregrine Falcon.
