Hi all

Hi all
I did try and join in the forum chat a couple of weeks ago without letting you all know a little bit about me. I did feel aggrieved at the negative responses I received. I have been following the forum since and realise why you are so guarded in accepting new members onto the forum.
There are clearly a few members who are not and possibly will never be privileged to regularly handle BsOP.
I have been impressed, just by following the forum, by the quality of the help and advice that is available to many of those who are clearly dedicated to the art of falconry.

I became interested many years ago whilst serving in the RAF at Lossiemouth and had the good fortune to see BsOP bred by keen followers who worked at the bird control section of the unit. Unfortunately the RAF went along the lines of Land Rovers with speakers scaring off the birds that were a problem to the aircraft and not using a BOP.

I attended a falconry course in the late 80’s and have brought on and hunted a FRT with very experienced friends a couple of years ago, and am currently helping out at a local Raptor Rescue Centre. I have the very good fortune to hunt using a FHH with 2 MHHs and also to hunt a FRT.

Hi There Tim, and Welcome.

Albie..

I don't own any at the moment but I am fortunate to be able to take people on experience days using (depending on how many people) the 2 MHH and FHH in a morning and a FRT in the afternoon it is not ideal hunting times I know but it has to fit in with the customers requirements, so i don't get many kills but lots of good follow on flying to give the idea of how BsOP work. At the moment though it is all "Hawk walks" due to being out of season but as the centre relies on income to be able to look after the BsOP there is no moult time. Most of the birds though are RSPCA rescue cases or unwanted "pets" so they are not straight forward to get working. There are some really sad stories out there caused by so called "falconers" but all of the birds are well looked after once they arive at the centre.
