Mate of mine was flying a Saker x Prei @ crows and it was the dogs dangles. Another chap tried to go one better with a GYR x Saker spent more time looking for it than flying it. If it missed a Crow it would then ****** off into the wild blue yonder. No matter what weight he tried flying it at, and to be fair they have to be keen to take on crows.

Saker-Clive Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Here's a snippet from a diary I keep on another forum.............. 18/01/'07. 1lb. 11 1/2oz. (with leash and swivel) 1lb. 10 1/2oz. without. As the winds and rain are probably like most of the country today, I got him doing jumps indoors on a long leash. The video is only on a 3 foot leash but since then he's been on a 5 foot leash. He still wont come for a chick leg but has so far had 1 mouse, and 2oz. of steak and 1 chick. The video isn't too clear as the lighting indoors isn't that bright (energy saving bulbs )........................... http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a31/Saker...Bob-indoors.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saker-Clive Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Nice pics clive, how often do you fly up at the race hill? hi 'Axe', I don't......I fly over Sheepcote most days, I've just got back now from training the Gyr x Saker He had his first official introduction to the Peregrine from the RSCH. As he came in to the lure, I looked up and she was about 50 feet overhead, as if to say, "I'm watching you " He did struggle a bit in the wind, it must be a good 20 mph plus. Have you not seen us over there over the last 4 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Clive, I must admit I have, but havent ventured that way since meeting you and the Harris with Brian at the farm in Salt Dean. When Kier demonstrated the lazy way to catch a pigeon (Pick Pocket). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got you..........how's thing going, is that your AR or Brian's in your picture ? I was over the farm yesterday with the falcons; saw 3 red-legged partridge scurrying about. You should have seen them go once I let Bob off the fist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
