Does anyone out there know of any breeders of the above hybrid?
A while ago I had the good fortune to fly a tiercel of this mix for 9 years until his untimely death (which I will never get over) and I just wondered if anyone breeds them.
This may sound an unlikely cross but believe me the little fella was a dynamite partridge hawk, took his share of pheasants, the odd rook and crow as well as several magpies,woodpigeon and even snipe. Sounds far-fetched I know, but it's perfectly true. He was the highest flying tiercel that I've ever seen or am likely to own in future!
If I recall correctly he was bred by a guy called Dave Myatt? I think - but I could be wrong? I also remember a brief article ages ago in the Falconers Magazine when someone else was extolling the virtues of another of these tiercels. I remember reading the article with a smile on my face whilst nodding agreement to the points made.
I don't want to get over nostalgic but I've often wondered about trying to get hold of another and see if a bit of history could be repeated for me!
If anyone out there knows of a breeder or even if they know of any of this hybrid being flown by anyone, I would appreciate it if you would let me know.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all
