Gerry Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 i just to fly harris hawks and sparrowhawks untill last yesr and that is a sparrowhawk nice vid A fellow Austringer I flew hawks ( never had the ground / quarry for a falcon) for about thirty years brilliant fun. Love Spars, had some memorable flights at pheasants, but they never managed to down them, I did have a little Musket that hit a cock pheasant on the rise and rode it for a while looking like a jocky on a horse Had Goshawks and Harris's and my last one I had for about fifteen years (female Harris) who took pheasants, rabbits (lots) and a Cairn terrier in front of it's family on a Sunday walk - very frightening Have promised myself I'll get back to it someday, maybe try a falcon, got a good mate who breeds Peregrine x Gyr, great big lumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 [grin][/grin] Is anyone else having probs viewing Youtoob? I cant see the vid.I can't see it either. Edit. I can now. That's nature for you. I regularly get a pile of pigeon feathers on my lawn but haven't managed to spot the killer yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
