That one was taken as a joke. The jack use to land on anyones head in the field if it put something in or missed.

Nice one jim, loved the one with mum and daughter on point!

If anyone is looking for Merlins this season, i have 4 eggs due to hatch in about a week? (sensible money though!) also looking for a proven Tiercel Peregrine from the right stuff, so may do a deal?

Thanks Adrian,
Don't think you'll have a problem selling them at any price, not many available this year.

Good one Pete, but I think your past that stage now, maybe a small male harris wig would be more to your style.

Most of my mates usually flew a merlin each year till their gos or main hawk / falcon was ready i.e late September.

I agree with every bod nice clear photies, I go out every year with the
merlin fliers down south either taking photo's or occaissionally flying
one , But the sports been harder in the last few years owing to increased
cover on Dartmoor. they have relaxed the grazing . Its good for the nesting
species of the moor but with regard to larking we're losing some good
spots
