Yep we were all thinking the same but the birds didn't bat an eyelid. Taxidermy I think would have done it justice !

We were out as a group of four and a white squirrel ran across the field towards a big tree and all the bird refused the slip! We put it down to training with white ferrets ?! Cracking looking squirrel !

Hi make sure the gaps in the bags are not to big, you don't want the bird escaping. I have a old post on here with a few notes i could pm you if you want. All the very best Lee C

Hi few notes that may help her out that I have posted in the past. Make of it what you want. Hi this is some bits ive posted on here before, pick what you want out of it as its a bit general. Get a good mentor! Join a club Go out for a season or two with them, if you can't get out with them all the time due to work or another do you have time to have a bird!!?? Telemetry is a must they can be right next to you in cover and you dont see the buggers. Play with it and get to know how it works in fields and woodland learn to pinpoint the beep. New systems on your phon

Gutted for you

Both nice looking birds would love to get back in to it some day. Hope to get out with a few old mates sometime! all the very best Lee C

Hi making your own is quite easy and you can practice on some crap leather as a play about. With length its up to you but I have see a Harris with long jesses stuck up where the jesses had whipped around a thin branch. Not sure what experience you have but I found playing with and knowing kit is always a good thing. All the best Lee C

Hi all anyone in Bedford area who's out and about please can you keep an eye out for a Harris hawk. He may follow you about and if out with ferrets he may have a fly around you. Please let me know any sighting and full location. Cheers all Lee c

Hi all please can you keep your eyes open for a Harris hawk missing in the Bedford area. Cheers Lee c

Gutted that my birds had to go. Good luck with the season to you all. I miss my daily routine with them. Cover look thick but seen a lot of bunnies and pheasants about. ALL THE VERY BEST Leee

Cheers hope it will give some helpfull tips and people can pick and choose what they want out of it. Missing vladamir but was best to re home him to a good home where he will be flown rather than sell him on to Tom dick or Harry.

Vet mate and antibiotics mine had similar with a thorn prick got it out but it swelled up, heat and flappy feeling is probably and infecting. A quick injection and course of antibiotics put in food and the swelling went down on vlads foot. I Put a bit of iodine on it at first and then later wound powder on as well but that was because had a tiny open wound where thorn end was squeezed out. But would recommend the antibiotics to help reduce swelling and heat.
