harryhawk Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Just some pic's of my female sparrowhawk, Xena on magpies.She only flies at 8 1/2ozs (approx.250 grms) but she has a lot of heart flying at feral pigeons at more than twice her weight.But magpies and jackdaws are her favoured quarry.

Cranfield Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Great pictures Harry, shouldn,t you have a Harris Hawk ? (Harris Hawk/ Harry,s Hawk, geddit ? ) The Sparrowhawk looks so small up close, its a wonder it can knock down something, as big as a pigeon. If your prime quarry is magpies, you won,t go short of targets. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
columbus Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Harry thats a nice spar you got there have you tried her on woodcock. My mates going to fly one next year as the rabbit situation around us is a bit grim and we cant find enough to keep a h/hawk busy. With a spar youll never be short of quarry thats for sure. He also flies a saker/peregrine at crows and in august sept he flies a merlin at larks. He tried a imprint pure peregrine this year at crows but she jibbed them after being mobbed once.

columbus Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Harry are you on the workingterrier site aswell i recognise your motto from somewhere i think it was on the falconry forum on that site. If you are i think youll find us mutch more agreeable and less argumentitive than most of the members on that sight. So welcome harry hope to see some posts from you soon.
