The Hawk Conservancy Trust is a bird park and conservation charity that cares for and displays birds of prey.[1] It is located in Weyhill, Hampshire, England, near to the A303 road and the town of Andover.
Founded as a zoo by local farmer Reg Smith and his wife Hilary, the park was incorporated as the Hawk Conservancy Trust in 2002.[2] It is also the site of the National Bird of Prey Hospital, a veterinary hospital that takes in injured birds of prey.[3][4]
