Would someone/anyone let me know if there are any books dedicated to or including flying sparrowhawks? I have a growing interest in them and would like to learn "the knowledge"!

Does anyone fly sparrowhawks in south Essex?

Thanks

Hi Goose,

Theres 2 books dedicated to Spars that I know of Jack Mavrogordato "A Hawk For A Bush" and Liam O'Broins "The Sparrowhawk: A Manual For Hawking" theres also a section in Phillip Glasiers book "Falconry and Hawking"

All The Best,

HH

Also, there is Derry Argues translation of A Perfect Booke for Kepinge Sparhawkes or Goshawkes.....

You can find this on ebay, complete with another translation.

Its called 'Training the short winged hawk - an Elizabethen perspective'.
