when you think about it all the Indigenouse species have everything any Falconers should ever need, Goshawks, Sparrowhawks, Peregrines, Merlins and Goldies, all these will suit any of our needs to what ever quarry and land suits the birds flying abilities, Harris's are a cracking Rabbit hawk and certainly mug a good few game birds, but for a flat out tail end chase and bind on a Game bird forget it! they still catch em by following them in or on the rise but sprinters they're not....
I'm not slateing a Harris in anyway as I love the bloody things for their sheer Inteligence and temperament
