Picked up Smudge, a 3yr old Tiercel Pere from Richard (Hacker) last week for landfill, seemed a bit of a lure bird at first but this week he started to show more interest in crows so I changed my approach and sucess, shortish flight but he took a rook on the wing in good style (straight into a huge mound of stingers I might add, am covered now!) and when I got there he had it well by the head so hopefully we're away now.
No pics sadly as I forgot the camera but I'll be at my side now.

Well done mate, was it a crow or a rook, if it was a crow then a big pat on the tiercels back for bravery.
