Hi , the choice is endless, however i see you live in london, it sounds a bit built up for flights at gulls, do you live in an enclosed area??

Flights at gulls have the potential to cover very large distances, unless you have a very understanding mum or dad with a car then you would be better off waiting until you a 17 and have a driving licence before attempting gull hawking….

i live in london but ive found a a little place were there are a lot of gulls, and very very very few people, during winter. its about 55 acres of land separated into 3 sections by trees.

Don't do it mate, I'm flying a Female Gyr/Saker at Gulls at the mo quite close to London.
As nice as it is to see her fly it's amazing how much sky they can cover in a very short space of time if she doesn't nail one quick..
I seem to spend all my time tracking her down and apart from the aggro of chasing her around the county, ya heart is in ya mouth all the time incase anything happens to her while you're searching.. I have to say, it's not an overly enjoyable experience at the mo.. I would definately make sure you have a fair whack of land to fly one on first...
