[HawkMan69UK]

[Finnish]

Gary have you rang Honeybrook.

[HawkMan69UK]

NO lee ill do it now

[Coedhirion]

Saker was lost from mid/south Wales mid summer. Male with leg bell, partly molted could well look like that. It has a leg ring and is also micro chipped. It was reported to IBR. It was flown to kite and lure. Any chance of catching it???

[HawkMan69UK]

ive been out for half hour nothing about ill go out tommorrow morning with the lure again who was it in s wales if you know them ill pm my number

[BFC 007]

this bird looks recently lost as its jesses are still there,if it was way back in the summer im sure they would have been pulled out by now.

[Coedhirion]

Can you let me know, they were devastated when bird went missing, as it hadn't hunted it was presumed dead. Unless it is caught and is theirs better not to raise hope. The IBR have a record of the leg ring no. and the owners name. I only have owners phone number. This is the bird during the summer but it didn't molt as it was flying.

[HawkMan69UK]

i would say no ...not the same bird:cry:

[Coedhirion]

just that the anklets are tan leather the same, the pic isn't very clear. The lost bird pic was taken with sun full on and in immature feathers.
I know it is a long shot he is still alive, but you never know.
Hope you catch it, but at least it is killing.

[Finnish]

Gary any thing from Honeybrook..:?:

[HawkMan69UK]

nooooo answer left a message

[Moritz]

the bird looks like a merlin hybreed, could be compleatly wrong. The head and the shape just remind me of one. So gyrlin?? Female?

Hope you catch it.

Moritz

[HawkMan69UK]

:lol: perlin its mine ..:D still no one reported lost though

[HawkMan69UK]

if it is a gylin perhaps merger can shed light on imature plumage ????

[Falcon]

Hawkmaster it's not one of Mark's is it, seeing as you caught one of his falcons before that flew off from the landfill site???

[Pogger]

Hello All,

The falcon is a gyr/pere x saker and I lost him at Castle Cary, Somerset a couple of weeks ago. I've sent a PM to Hawkman69 already with my number in case he sees him again. The pic I've attached shows him on a gull just a couple of months ago.

[OutFlying]

Hope you get him back.

Jim.

[Finnish]

Lets just hope Gary see him. If you need a hand Gary just ring me..

If that birds a Merlin hybrid I'll show my butt in the co op window. Looks like a Tribrid to me wouldnt hazard a geuss apart from saying nothing to do with Merlin.

[Tim Laycock]

What I know about falcons could be written across an ants knee with a marker pen but It looks like a pere x saker to me.

[HawkMan69UK]

looks like a definate to me :supz:

[Dave G]

hi pogger hope you get your falcon back ?? nice looking bird which hasnt lost the killing touch either lol

[HawkMan69UK]

got a call this morning from a farmer raced up there but it was a female spar just eaton a pidgeon .....sorry pogger ill keep looking

[Finnish]

Brown Falcon seen today at dinner time. Natch went up to try a catch the bird. He had killed a gull. Hardly nothing left of it.. Seen in Headly park. The reason the bird flu off was cause some man let his dog off and it ran up to the bird. Natch looked all around the area but nothing. Seems like this is the same bird..... We will all keep an eye out for you...

[Pogger]

Many thanks to you both Finish and Hawkman69UK for trying so hard to track my bird down. All your efforts are much appreaciated. I owe you both many :drinkers:

[Pogger]

Well my falcon's back home today safe and sound. Currently sat on a block in the lounge preening and watching TV. He was picked up by a farmers son on Saturday trying to raid a larson trap. Many thanks to all those who have tried so hard to help me get him back and thanks again to the IBR who did an outstanding job as usual.

[HawkMan69UK]

where was he found mate :supz: :supz: :supz:

A happy ending for a change!! Glad you got your bird back mate.
