What bird is this Quiz

[PeelsBells]

Can anyone tell me what bird is this just a quiz

[Blaze]

Dont know!....But it looks like with the lenghth of its legs it tackles snakes or the likes....Slick looking bird..:lol:

[PeelsBells]

Your on the right lines

[Biarmicus]

Hello,

Is it a Southern Pale Chanting Goshawk?


Britt:-)

[PeelsBells]

Whos been reading books then (Well done) i though no one would get this but the internets got it covered.LOL

[Blaze]

Your underestimating us Andy.....He only got it cos i gave him a clue!...:yawinkle:

[BenB]

That looks like a East African Secretary bird

[HunterPaul]

it really is one of the few birds id recognise straight off for some reason... im **** at identifying birds ... but through the painting i do look for interesting ones to paint and that stands out although id have just given chanting goshawk....beautiful bird...

[Hawkmaster]

Best Hawk I have ever flown!

They will take Collared Doves off the fist with at least a 40m head start, as lond as they are not more than about 15m high.:supz:

[BenB]

Wish i could cut and paste a secretary bird onto here to show the similarity (although size will be a bit different)

[HunterPaul]

i cant imagine anybody on here doesnt know what a secretary bird looks like....

[Starsky]

Can anyone tell me what bird is this just a quiz
its a chanting gos might be a grey!

[PeelsBells]

Best Hawk I have ever flown!

Hawkmaster does anyone breed these birds over here.What are the flying weights and temprement of these birds as they look stunning .

[MattSpar]

i cant imagine anybody on here doesnt know what a secretary bird looks like....

I certainly know what a secretary bird looks like. The one I'm thinking of is a delicious brunette called Carol.

[Hawkmaster]

I don't think anyone breeds them in the UK, if anyone it would be Griff from the Welsh Hawking Centre. He also has brought in the most of them from an old friend in Pretoria South Africa.

The one I had was between 500 and 550gr and even at that size absolutely lethal on Francolin. Mellow birds to train and steady in the field too. A must to hood as passage birds know all the tricks and most of their skills are derived from surprise.

[PeelsBells]

Do you fly these birds off the fist ,out of cars windows on to quarry.

[Hawkmaster]

Never did out of the car hawking until I got the to UK, as quarry was more difficult to find.

Always off the fist.

[PeelsBells]

I think i would like a bash at one of these if they were avaliable as they look stunning and if the are good in the field thats even better.
I keep on looking at the Coppers for the coming season as everyone over here has said they are no good but all are American friends say they are second to none.
I just fancy the challenge to see if they are good as the spar and take bigger quarry.

[MattSpar]

I keep on looking at the Coppers ......

Me too mate. Especially if I'm somewhere I shouldn't be!

[PeelsBells]

Well spotted another part of the quiz.
God my speeling is going worse as i am getting older.
COOPERS
Is that better LOL

[MattSpar]

I once flew a Coopers, an adult female loaned to me by someone whilst he was ill in hospital. She showed great promise at anything from blackbirds up. Unfortunately, her stay with me was cut short by her owner who, rather thoughtlessly in my opinion, got better.

[PeelsBells]

What weight did you get her going at.

[MattSpar]

This was twenty five years or so ago, but if memory serves, somewhere around 1.1

[PeelsBells]

Do you know of any good breeders of coopers in this country

[Kevin Massey]

are you allowed to say sooty falcon these days what with the pc **** an that....:twisted:

[Hacker]

Wahlbergs eagle

[Wingless]

Yeh wahlberg's eagle :), bit like a small african tawny eagle. I had high hopes for him soaring around, took him up sutton bank in yorkshire the other day, he didnt look too impressed so i launched him off into the updraft, he stooped about 20 feet down to a ledge covered in heather and hid! I had to climb down the cliff and pick him up. So that was that! Quite quick off the fist but not very manouverable.

[Wilfred]

well when i try to save the picture of the eagle it says wabbit as name of the picture..and i guess it is not a wabbit well this will not be a regular name for a bird of prey.Or is it

With the falcons it was easier i just wanted to save and saw the names there

[NGuruve]

wow i handled a wahlbergs out in zimbabwe at a falconry centre did ever think they were very capable of hunting well

nice one

[Wingless]

It hunts - but i wouldnt say well! I'm not going to persevere with it because im going away for 3 months, she'll be used at a falconry centre instead.

[Midge]

and here's me thought it was a Montagues Harrier !

[Barbary Boy]

[PeelsBells]
