Hi Andy, If you are interested I can sort a day out for you in the season where you can go as a spectrer and watch hawks hunting or if you prefer falcons on a field meeting just let me know atb Dave

Thanks for the posts in answer to some of them Yes it is rats and not mice and they are getting into the mews as I have seen them on the cctv Yes the birds do catch them the hawks more than the falcons which I would prefer they didnt No I do not know my poisons but would not risk any where the birds are due to as mentioned secondry poisoning to the birds that ar,nt cheep I have tried all the suggestions with no results to date I cannot go into the pens to ofton as its the breeding season now and they wont take being disturbed when on eggs Thanks for all the help Dave Here is one of the birds its a Harris X Redtail she is 3lb-14.5 lbs and hunts at 2-14lbs

Would,nt have one given but each to there own
