Here are some more progress pics from the Cornish Brirds of Prey Centre, Cornwall.

 

The Cornish Birds of Prey Centre are a family partnership of four people, Kelly, Andy, Kath and Mick. In the autumn of 2011 we built the first of 28 cabins for them.

Twenty are to be sold to fund an indoor flying area and an education centre and the remainder would be let as holiday homes giving them an income to support the bird of prey centre and animal park.

Pior to the construction they have consulted with Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Natural England, The Environment Agency, Acorn Ecology and South West Water, and will continue to do so through each stage of the development.

The two and three bedroom lodges are constructed using ecological techniques including a choice of grass, sedum or cedar tile roofs and electricity from photovoltaic panels on the roof. Underfloor heating and hot water is provided using an air source heat pump and the sewage disposal is via a reed bed.
