Berettacocker Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Contact south-east falconry group, they have regular meets and I'm sure someone at their monthly meetings at tilbury community center would take you out,( falconers love to see other peoples birds hunting).

Harris hawker Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi i do know a few people at the south east club, i don t mind flying with a group now and again but so many like to talk when hunting rather than getting on with it. I like to get out early have some good flights and catch a few rabbits. sometimes flying in a group makes it hard to keep your bird fit if you only get a few slips.
