- Lloyd and Rose Buck
Leading, Bristol-based bird experts Lloyd and Rose Buck embark on a UK theatre tour accompanied by some of their extraordinary feathered friends.
This interactive experience is aimed not only at bird enthusiasts, but also at anyone who relishes the opportunity to see birds rarely seen outside of their wild habitats. The performance will include film footage and stories from the Bucks’ experiences with birds.
Lloyd and Rose have devoted over 25 years to rearing and nurturing a wide variety of breeds at their farmstead near Bristol. They train their birds specially for filming on location and are the foremost experts at tracking birds and in-flight filming.
Their magnificent avian family includes Lady and Moses the peregrine falcons, Ashley the kestrel, Lily the barn owl, Ellie the goshawk, Tilly the golden eagle and a large number of starlings, geese and swans.
Between them Lloyd and Rose have been involved with over 100 different documentaries, drama productions and feature films such as the BBC’s Poldark, Top Gear, The Hollow Crown. Their birds have appeared in numerous productions for ITV, the National Geographic Channel, RTE in Ireland and CBS in America.
They have worked with virtually every wildlife and natural history television star including Sir David Attenborough, Steve Backshall, Michaela Strachan, Chris Packham, and Kate Humble.
“The Bucks are remarkable people because when they do imprint, they form a bond they can’t break and it means those swans are with them for life” – Sir David Attenborough
