Linden House Vetinary Centre, Diss, ask for Roger Bannister. He hunts and flies with MHH and a Kestrel. Not a 'Niel Forbes expert/ specialist', but able to give more expertise than the average 'all round' vet, and knows when to refer onward. A nice chap as well.

Hi,
Westover in Northwalsham are the best in the area they specialise in raptors, there is a £78.00 reg fee but it is worth it. I took a saker to a local vet in Taverham the guy was scared witless as a result I gained a large hole in the back of my hand, and I had to advise him on treatment which cost me £30.00. Never again.

Thanks for the information - it looks like the North Walsham is the one for me!
PS - Sorry for the delay in responding.

How did you get on at westover ?
When i called them, they didnt have an avian vet on site, but did have someone who "new stuff about birds"......I went to GWR in the end.

I have to say despite the distance - you can't beat Mr Neil Forbes :!:

Can be a tough call that one.
I lost a much missed female perigrine because of the time factor. ( 4hr traveling to Stroud)
If there is a a competent local vet, I now consider it no ill store to use them, and use the experts as and when.
