Well done, Hawkman, and good luck with it. You never know which way these things will go, but it's always worth trying. All the best!

Speed is the key if he's gonna stand any chance of pairing this season?

You cant help but like buzzards though eh? they look great in the air and you have to respect their ability to go up so well in all sorts of weathers.
Just dont like to see em ripping the heads off me Partridge? :cry:

In work this morning and got a call , our local injured buzz finally succumbed . got there an he was as if asleep on the grass, had a broken tarsus an it was mingin , keel sharp as a tack . funny how deceiving it is to see them soar above you. nature is cruel , but he wont go to waste, put him in the freezer for possible imping material.... phone DEFRA in the morn just ot make sure all is ok

Osiris

i see. well read up on as much as you can. there are few good books out there. I recommend a book by Adrian Hogarth entitled "Hawking and Falconry for Beginners".

Another is by Jemima Parry Jones entitled "Jemima Parry-Jones' Falconry"

Both books are full of amazing info..

Oh! a book by Emma Ford also: "Falconry : Art and Practice"
