Moorman 1

Had a good workout today and number 52 bites the dust

Nice one keep me posted!

Ideal, looks like you had a productive day and a nice confidence builder for both birds. Well done!

Yes it is she was totally at ease when we arrived today with three horses literally all sniffing her, lol.

I know what you mean.....I can't help it if the land that I have permission to fly her on seems to attract the gulls, even though its several miles from the sea. Even when there aren't any there she seems to find one somewhere! She is totally unbothered by any livestock which can be a worry at times. I found her plucking a crow one day underneath a herd of Highland cattle, she was in the middle of about 30 or so.

Another accident and kill 51 in the bag

As you can see from the recorded flight she missed her original target and went on a bit of a jolly. That was the highest weight that I have flown her at, she could have done with being an ounce lighter really. at least she had a good exercise.

Thank you. She ended up in the football field at Kelly college lol.

Two good workouts today and another accident, kill 50 in the bag.

Another accident she was slipped on a carrion crow and when I got to her she was tucking in a LBB gull. Oops

Trespassing is a civil law and would never end in a conviction. There is also an old law which still stands that you are allowed to enter private land etc to retrieve your hawk. If it has killed a gamebird on a shoot your are to take your hawk but leave the gamebird on the land. I usually ask the owner if I can quickly locate them, if not I just pop in and retrieve her. Believe it or not I have acquired a lot of permission through being caught picking up a hawk or falcon, if you were caught on there with a lurcher or terrier you would no doubt be classed as a deer poacher or a badger digger!

This girl is a nightmare every time I try to excercie her she rakes off and makes a kill.

He should slip from a vehicle he would be able to get a lot closer to the quarry. The pere x AK's are gutsy little things and don't seem to realise their size, or lack of it, lol.

Thanks thats a cracking little long wing. With it being from that mix it should be a gamey little thing, have you seen it on any quarry?

Heavy rain and high winds kill 47 in the bag
