WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Shi's hitting the skies lol.

Had him free today, first time on the new field yesterday. New flying ground, have been worried about it but no probs. I thought he'd be more worried, but no, relaxed and working!

08/02/06

1lb 9 3/4.

Cold and chiily, but lovely weather - clear skies etc.

Got to field, swapped jesses, put telem and put on perch. Got about 100m and he came very quick and low. Strait take. Clean pick up. Dead impressed.

2nd go, same distance (was half the field) and he came before I got all the way there. I hid the lure and his just rocketed above me then pounced as i dropped the lure. Bit off a messy pick up this time - towered over him a bit more then usual. He just had the lure and was still sortin himself out.

For the day he had 4 chicks, as it was clear skies last night and quite cold.

09/02/06

1lb 10 otd.

Again, quite cold, but a tad warmer I guess. Lovely sunny skies.

Back at the field.

The strait fly to lure to get him hyped. quite keen, more pumping with his wings. Took a bit more to take off.

seocnd time I hid the lure, he flew past my legs, wondered if he was gona turn. Thankfully he banked and when up about 15-20ft i think? nice circle and stormed in. Neat pick up.

given him 3 chicks so might loose a bit tonight, be abit more keen. Keeping him over 1lb 9 1/2, but under 1lb 10. Will be fun!

do have pics but cant put on the computer. grr

thats the plan. He's interested, he's chased the partrige, but it's season over so rooks and crows and possibly gull's as there's plenty of them around here!

Is Shiro OK?
I was listening to BBC Lancashire and heard a plea for people to look out for a Saker in the longton area, any sightings to call Hannah.

If it is Shiro I can come and lend a hand if you like, I am on 173 mHz, just drop me a PM!

Best of luck
