    I once had the great experience and pleasure of a day’s hawking with Harris hawks at the Hawk Conservancy in Hampshire. Caught a few rabbits bolted by ferrets, but seem to recall that the odd pheasant proved too quick for those hawks.

    First time in years that I had a young bird on my arm 🤣


    Great photos by the way Richardo

    OB

    Yes I know what you mean, I’ve caught plenty of pheasant with Harris hawks but usually when there up a tree and flushed, there just sometime flown in different ways ie I flew my Harris hawks following me in the tree tops where the goshawk is flown more like a falcon off the glove.

    just curious here if your hawks go after a bird can you call them off just wondering incase they went onto a bird out of season or something rare 

    No  afraid, we’ll I can’t..
