Through one of our wonderful Hospice Day
Service volunteers, we were contacted by Peter, The Bird Man of Kent! Peter came with his birds of prey to
pay a visit to our patients. There were beautiful owls and scary looking eagles amongst many others. Pat,
a patient of the Day Service, was staying in the InPatient Unit for respite that week,
she wrote the following to tell you what the visit meant to her.
‘Whilst I was on respite at the Hospice in
the Weald, what a wonderful surprise it was when I was taken to see the birds
of prey.
I had my photograph taken with a beautiful
owl, which now sits on my bookshelf at home for all to see.
It was also a nice surprise for all who
attended the Day Service that day and who, like me, enjoyed it very much.
I felt the birds gave me a welcome
distraction, which took my mind off my illness.’
