I was privileged the other day to be invited to Mark Robb's breeding Facility .All I can say is, I am astounded the hawks were immaculate, quantity and quality of breeding falcons were second to none, and the hospitality great . I have seen, world-wide what I consider some of the best facilities in the world and after the amount of time I have been involved in falconry, not much easily impresses me, but Mark's Facility is incredible. I am extremely excited at the possibility of perhaps one day in the future of having a small female peregrine to come from his vast 'stable' .
Well done Sara, Mark & Moritz
good luck for the coming breeding season and many thanks for looking after me

Sara gave me a tour earlier in the year and i have to admit that barn is something else!
I can forsee some excellent prodigy coming from that barn and Julian, "Awesome" just about sums it up.
And the hospitality given by Mark and Sara was equal:supz:

Thank you Julian (and all the rest of you) for your kind words. It is very nice to get some feedback from all the hard work that goes in to the project.
Its been a plesure to have you all here. Julian is a very, very nice man (to nice for his own good according to Mark :wink: ).
Thanks for the brilliant gloves who fits perfect, so nice to have a proper falconry glove instead of cheap UAE sh**e.
You are all welcome at any time (expecially you Lee:heart: ).

I was trusted by Mark 3 years ago to look after his place(on my own) while (only 4 days) him and Sara went to Sweden,it was hard work i can tell you,over 2 hours just to feed the birds and dogs,then up at 2am because the guard dog started to bark ,his and Sara's birds are first class,i'm not realy into falcons but most are STUNNING,Mark and Sara work realy hard,long hours and not much time off just for the love of falcons and breeding,to me this is 100% commitment,first class ------- and Moritz ,Sara look after that little black thing for me ???,Mark knows which one --------Jed.

I remember when I came here for the first time in november 2004. I thought I entered haven and at that time only half the aviaries were up. After some time here you sort of forget how special this place is. But it is always good to see ppl come here the first time. julian was quite confused and needed some time to realise what he saw. i think it is not till after you got home and think about it, that you realise what you just saw.

Mark and Sara IMHO it is all to easy in life to be big headed. & those of us that have been ijn th e sport a wwhile know only too well the ******** & back niting and stabbing that can and does go on. it is so refreshing to finally meet someone whom you have heard about over the years , sometimes with mixed reports ( which is obviously a lot of petty ******** again when they are bad) to have your faith in humanity restored by folk like Mark and Sara. of course when we have been in the game xxx years we build our opinions ( and some included myself become self opinionated and truly confidient in the way we fly our falocns , what ever disciplne we fly them in) but feel humble in that I should try to give something back to falconry and that is why I am a memeber of the iff.. I hope that does not sound too bigheaded
Thank you for the complement for the glove , as you know these are available only for a limited amount of time!:yawinkle:

It is a three way equation, knowledge of breeder, quality of stock and then the right habitat in order for them to breed.
Mark,Sara and stock obviously score 10 out of 10 on all three scores!!!!!!!!:supz: :supz: :supz:
