Was looking out into Garden & seen this fella or girl sat fence line. Having it's morning snack a ring neck dove. At first I was abit angry that it was near my birdroom. But I've always been a raptor lover. Long before I got avairy birds. One of my pals said to me why didn't you kill it. Talking about the loss of song birds through sparrow hawks. Saying that a sparrow hawk can eat 4 to 5 song birds a day.
If a male if providing feed for a female to feed young then yea they will catch multiple times a day , mostly a spar will catch feed and then put its food over and be happy until it needs to feed again , bop feed when they need to unlike dogs that eat when ever they can ,

Rat catcher who's dealt with 50,000 rodents warns they're 'getting bigger' - Stoke-on-Trent Live
WWW.STOKESENTINEL.CO.UK
Kieran Sampler, 29, has been a pest controller for seven years and has caught 50,000 rats in that time. He...this lad reckons he's had 50,000 rats in 7 years, including one as big as a dog!
Every year the newspapers tell us rats are getting bigger and smarter. By the time I retire they are going to be the size of Labradors and driving cars!
Seen a few rats driving round in cars to be fair

It's not just the noise its the aggression etc a lot of the harris's even passage birds are vocal and do imprint to some degree.
My first harris used to do this low whistle sound when ever on the fist lol like it was happy whistling lol but they live in packs in the wild and are very vocal like you say so it's part and parcel recon that's why some become vocal at flying weigh. My mate Carl's got and imprint harris hawk and an imprint male goldie so hopefully I'm going try beg one off him if he does them , wouldn't buy 1 off anyone else because like you say the breeders are all about the money so you could end up with some think a little imprinted and a male goldie harris with aggressive traits don't sound too much like fun lol

Knew a kid from Hoyland, had a red tail ,had it a couple of seasons, one day he was calling it back from a mist slip ,glove up, piece of meat in hand, totally ignored the fist and latched on to the side of his face ,, made a right mess ,was very lucky not to lose his eye
Know acouple lads been hit by reds , problem is with reds is there not as forgiving as harris hawks so some lads go from a Harris to a red and end up getting footed , harris hawk are very forgiving around there weight , red tails arnt , not saying that's the case with your mate tho , sometimes even experienced falconers get tagged by them, old guy I know got more scars on his arms and face of birds than he has hairs lol

Only experience I have mate is been out hunting with birds and I have never owned a BOP I know of lad's who have taken brown hares with good sized female Harris hawk's most I know were taken in woodland and cover of some sort. I think the Eagle Harris hybrid would have the edge on open land and moorland . I know a few lads who gave the redtails a go for hare hawking but soon went back to the Harris hawk's.
Red tails can be funny feckers aswell mate , one day they can fly like demons the next day sit in a tree and watch the world go by lol

Yes , even decent sized Harris hawks won't handle hares well .. my mate had a female Harris 2lb 5 won't touch hare , his 2lb bird would but it died by been kicked by a hare , by time he got it to vets it was dead

What would they be good for?
The male will take hares ,
Now male Harris hawks will take strong buck rabbits but I've seen plenty kicked off I've seen females get kicked off especially when they grab the back end instead of the head , a male goldie x Harris won't have that problem and will take hares , now I know people will say just fly a male goldie but truth is goldies are sulking little fuckers , adding Harris will ad benefits like trainable, flying style , steadiness, none that sulking shit etc etc plus if you have a female imprint Harris hawk that lays incubated and reaers you can have 4 possibly 8 chick's if you double clutch ..goldies don't realy lay that many eggs
But the main thing they add for the lads breeding them is £££££ couple grand for a Harris goldie hybrid .

George off here had 1 his was female but don't think he still has it , plenty of lads are on them now as they fetching stupid money and everyone wants something diffrent , my mate bred a ferruginous x goshawk nice looking bird but nothing on a full Goss or a full ferruginous..
Hopefully he'll be doing the Harris x goldies soon so I'll be trying get one the.

Here’s a question for the lads who poach on here… has anyone actually drove a car through a fence or set fire to a barn or tractor… I personally haven’t and I don’t know anyone who has.. yet you hear these stories all the time… so come on, own up, who actually been man enough to set fire to a farmer’s property??
I have a couple mates who have drove through fences , I whent out with them to start a young dog on the lamp in a forester lad out sun roof lamping flying round fields strait through wire fence , ...it wasn't for me
1 because the damage
2 because the amount of time they nearly ran the dog over
3 I got f***ing sea sick been thrown around in the back like I was on a fair ride
I also know a couple of rum old boys who if a farmer/ keeper goes over to them kicking of are more than happy to stick itnon them and have done plenty of times ...
There was a video somewhere on YouTube of some trailer lads after a funeral whent do some coursing as a send off to the friend , there clearly driving all over the land ripping the fields up etc et and not q car sure there 2/3 ripping f**k out people fields and videoing it like it's fine

In “rough shooting” a couple of “guns” will just walk the land and have a pop at what jumps up, but , as you say, a “formal “ hare shoot will usually do “walk one, stand one”; which is if there are ,say, twenty “guns”, ten will stand in a line while the others drive the hares towards them, then they will change places for the next drive. Some of the big shoots will kill hundreds of hares.
The hares in these places seem to survive, and breed to replace the stock for the next years shoot, but I know of places, my brother has ferreting permission on one place, where the farmers go out at night on the back of trucks and shoot the hares in the lamp to completely eradicate them in order to stop the coursers and poachers going on the land.
I know that in the grouse shoots, the keepers shoot the hares as they carry a type of flea that infects the grouse.
The hare had a tough old life, but still they seem to be on the increase. I literally see more hares around here than rabbits.
Cheers
When I held my fac a land owner approached me and asked me to basically wipe everything off his land because he was sick of constantly repairing fences from lads driving through them cutting them etc etc and he eas sick of been threatened and and worrying if his machines going get smashed up and burnt out I didn't have the heart do it but couple the lads I know went and did it for him and then another couple farmers had them doing the same for them ,
Shame realy but if I was a farmer repairing fences everyday chasing down loosed live stock etc I'd do the same thing
