A 3lb chick, keep that foal away from your falcon mate, 3lb, bloody hell!!!

Also Lucy loves the horse (she is an equine scientist no less!!!). She even got out of bed to have a look, and that is a very very rare thing indeed!!! :) :)

[Falcons7]

I'll be imprinting a eyas falcon out of my 5 times intermued falcon Regal .The speical weapon for imprinting is kids,I think thats the only reason I have them for, only kidding, there usefull for cleaning out the dogs etc.

[Bubo]

hey why do you think i had three :lol:

[Varmint]

Here's a pic taken yesterday of one of the two identicle males that i am selling, pm me if seriously interested but this bird will be £700.

[Varmint]

Yep Bubo, the wife was pretty chuffed cause we've been trying to get this particualt mare in foal for about 5 yrs??

This was the culmination of a nightmare run to Southhampton and back again in the same day (23 hr round trip in the horse box), to drop the mare off at the stud.

This foal is so funny and already well handled, He's out of a top 3 day eventer called Fleetwater Opposition, who has had dozens of foals placed every year at badminton.

I Love Him.

Yep Ben C , been there and done that with the old hawks and horses, but these days the ground seems to be getting smaller and the game harder to get to on horse back, so i stick to me pins these days!

[Bubo]

i know this is way off topic but being a dressage person myself i certainly hope he has his dad's gaits and grace!! (i'm not saying your mare hasnt cos i have never seen her) but i have seen how fleetwater moves :supz:

[PeregrinesUK]

wow beautiful see what you mean!!!

[Varmint]

It's getting just about impossibel to give all 4 Imprints the amount of time and attention they need each.

I've got to get these babies settled with their new mums and dads asap!!

[PeregrinesUK]

Its hard enough with just the one peregrine!
what are the chests like on the falcons varmint and what to they tend to moult out like

[Varmint]

The two boys dont have any other markings on them other than the tips of their tails.

They will stay black on their backs and tails but should deveop just a few creamy/orangy tears on the upper breasts in mature plummage.

[PeregrinesUK]

well today holly my imprint female peregrine took her first crow after a really powerful flight took it in the air approx 70' up handled it to the ground and killed before i arrived it really is the glorious 12th we’ve had some amazing chances over the last few weeks lots of high flights and putting crows down in the fields but always failed to bind until today! Attached is a pic of her hard penned

[Shaun Byrne]

Beautiful bird mate, what weight is she at? Is she vocal?

[PeregrinesUK]

shes currently at 2lb 3 7/8oz and hardly makes a sound perfect manners and doesnt mantle on lure or kills im just waiting for it all to start ! had to bring her weight down slightly due to her not wanting to bind so did it very very slow and had the desired effect with none of the expected draw backs yet! the imprint has been really good fun and if you could feel her chest it amazing so so strong I LOVE THIS GIRL!!
