  1. Just been and got a few pics with the phone Rather than mess about with pm i will just put them on here To me it looks like he has got some yolk in them with it being yellow and also the absence of fret marks in other feathers growing at the same time, and also you carnt see one of the marks at the back of the feather? Any opinions welcome
  2. Mines the same mate, has guts like nothing else, if you dont mind me asking what happened with your first hawk? Dont answer if your not comfartable telling me its none of my buisness anyway ha
  3. I will get a pic tommorow mate, as long as it isnt damaging the feather it doesnt really bother me just bugs me a little knowing its there, like i said it might just be chick yolk with me only noticing it yesterday but im not sure, you know what its like though mate when you notice something then end up diagnosing every ilness lol, probably just me panicking, How do i pm a pic just post the url as if i would do posting it on a thread?
  4. Should be a good thread this mate, the falconry sections certainly gonna be buzzing this season
  5. Thanks mate, and ye dropped him down to 1lb 5 and hes keen as hell for them, took him up a little yesterday and he wouldnt entertain them, what do you recon to the fret marks? Will they be ok? on one feather it doesnt reach the quill and the other i carnt see if it does or not, but im not sure if they are even fret marks as they are yellow in colour and thin but not straight, it could be chick yolk, if i try for some pics tommorow could you take a look and give your opinion please. Is it possible to wash the feathers to see if it is egg yolk? Ive put warm water on them but need to see if
  6. Went out today and the bird bound to a crow taken from a tree, so i set off running to dispatch it and as i got within 5 feet the crow popped up out his feet and flew off with the bird on the floor with a fist full of feathers looking at me like wtf has just happened lol Then just got home and noticed two fret marks in the same place on two different feathers, and i know whats caused it, if i ever see the cat from across the road with its paw through the aviary roof again, it will be getting a 12mm lead ball fired at its arse three times ive caught it on the roof and even caught it clun
  7. Good luck with the gos mate, start a thread on him then we can all see how he progresses
  8. You're welcome anytime mate. You can bring your bird and stop with one of us and we'll get out and do a bit. My dog took me out while he was chasing a bunny on a golf course. It was a decent slip and I watched as the rabbit hit top speed and stretched out. My dog quickly caught up with it and put a couple of turns in. I watched as the rabbit took a big arcing path to the nearest bit of cover. That happened to be my legs!!! As the bunny got closer I could see that it was intent on hiding under my feet and my dog was putting his head down to strike. I opened my legs slightly and watched as b
  9. lol thought somebody woudl notice, my pal go tme a set as the dog chewed my others when she was a pup broke into me bag and ate all the new uns and the uld miging ones I keep for spares lol , so I asks me pal who was at a gamefair the other wek to get me a set oif mews jess, he comes back with some to hold an eagle lol, they in wrong way as he likely needed a lttle further weight reduction , btiu as he was on the glove I just slotted em best way I could, chaged em round later when he settled , not much mannign gunna be needed I reckon he start flyig n around 2lb mark maybe touch over he ca
  10. Well theres that but for 3 pound it isnt worth being watched and followed by the keeper, takes the enjoyment out of it
  11. Whats wrong with them? Mines always had them on and ive never had a problem, not having a dig just curious and i wasnt having a dig at ag he,knows what i was laughing at,the anklets are a bit to big and jesses for a falcon and need feathering,but thats just me,as long as they serve the purpose they,ll do im just picky,see you soon mate, Thought you was on about them being riveted , my bad sorry mate
  12. The jesses are the wrong way throught the eylets aswell pal, just noticed
  13. Whats wrong with them? Mines always had them on and ive never had a problem, not having a dig just curious
  14. Not sure mate its from ebay i always use the same bandsets from the same seller and the pouches are spot on
  15. Great to hear mate, its an absolute nightmare at the minute with all the cover, im working my bollocks off trying to get some flights only for the rabbits to make to cover just too thick for the hawk to get through, but it never tires watching him keep trying, well done bud wont be long now
  16. What i dont get is if i went out and caught/shot 15 rabbits but only took 5 to the keeper and put the rest in the van or somewhere else whats stopping me from doing that, because if i knew i could get away with that then thats what i and most on here would do, stick to knocking on doors and getting permission the proper way your not stepping on anyones toes then
  17. Around £4.50 including postage is what i pay now and the most id pay
  18. If you carnt get hold of one go to the local librabry they may be able to order it in if any other library has it, i went into mine and got loads of falconry books ordered in and just kept taking them back out. You thinking of taking an AK on?
  19. When most of your hunting is alone or just with the hawk laughing at yourself gets boring after a while lol
  20. Can i come out with you lads sometime, it sounds a right laugh lol
  21. Well if your ever around my way drop a pm and we could sort something out, thanks for all the advice aswell, i need it ha
  22. I think i put the beam too wide, at a distance they were just eyeshine wheras if i had it tighter it would have lit up the full rabbit and probably catch the birds interest better, at least i know for next time
