A community nature park has added 15 birds of prey to its regional farm this week in a bid to educate families. 

Lee Valley Park Farms in Stubbins Hall Lane, Waltham Abbey, adopted the birds, which include buzzards, hawks and owls, from The Coda Falconry Company.

Farms Manager James Broomfield said: "We’re pleased to welcome these new arrivals and their aerial displays have already had visitors awe-struck.

“It’s a great opportunity for families to learn all about the different birds and I’m sure they will continue to prove popular with visitors.”
