jasper65 6 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Very nice Kat . Sakers are vastly underrated these days, I had a lovely standing white 1/4 white Gyr x Saker and passed her on for a silly price . she produced some lovely youngsters which knocked the sizes up with that Tad of Gyr in them, they turned out just like large Pere x Sakers with Pere semen fired into her but for some reason these days they was a nightmare to pass on except to the odd Landfill lads who wanted them for their work......

Kat 3 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks Millet & Jasper The Saker is a great bird to fly but its rather like flying a WW2 bomber lol She's funny as hell to watch and doesnt shut up from the moment of casting to the moment she lands on her lure!! She has the turning circle of a LWB Landrover!! Shes always got that 'Im such a clever bird attitude on' too lol She doesnt go far & always has an eye open for the lure lol She spends most of her time with her upside down head on lol and has no nastiness about her. Just a shout and she comes back. She'll hopefully produce some nice babies from our Tiercel Quote Link to post
