MARKR1985 15 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 she,s doing well there eh fella...cracker...darrell. she's making a good dent on the magpie population around here.We settled for a jackdaw today.Last week she missed a magpie and tried her luck on a heron!!! I think she realised pretty quickly she was out of her depth and pulled out!! Quote Link to post
MARKR1985 15 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 We've taken another 3 magpies and a lbj in the last few days.She bent a deckfeather right on the tailmount the other day so it had to be taken off. Can be imped though so no real worries. Quote Link to post
MARKR1985 15 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Can't really believe I'm writing this but yesterday Missy was killed by two of my ferrets while she was on the lawn weathering. By the time I got to her she was dead.How the ferrets got out I dont know as I had shut them in hours before. I am comletely gutted that this awesome little bird never got to show her true potential. I put my all into this hawk and it was truly paying off. That's it for me I won't be flying anything this season now as I dont think much can compare to her. I'll just say thanks again to all the help and encouragement I've had from people off here and especially my cousin Gary(pco) Good luck to everybody this season with your birds. Cheers Mark Quote Link to post

Cheers mate, I'm going to be flying Dafydd23's male gos until around christmas time,so i'm looking forward to picking him up on friday. THANKS DAF YOUR A STAR!! I've been sat over the last few days just twiddling my thumbs not knowing what to do with myself!! I don't think I could give it up if you paid me Missy was a cracking hawk though! and it was a pleasure to train and fly her. The kids are still devastated,but they will be just the same with the gos Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) Mark, I really feel for you. The work you put into the bird was first class, was really looking forward to see her fly @ Woodcock. They will still be there next year though.
