vole Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) Out on bikes with my daughter and saw a Kestrel hunting other side of the river. Thought it strange as it never seemed to mind us. It made a kill and when it took off there was a foot long brown string trailing. Guessed it may have been the jesse of a falconer. Should I contact the local ones or is it not worth the bother? Seemed to be fending for itself ok. Edited July 29, 2008 by vole21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I would contact them for what it's worth. There could well be falconry forums where there is a missing bird list and any sightings that are reported will be appreciated. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM Sounds like a fair enough suggestion, there could well be a search going on for the bird and every scrap of info would be appreciated, if only to confirm the bird was still fit and well.

Evilv Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 It would be good to contact the local falconer's group. What if that jesse gets snagged up somewhere and it starves while tied to a bush or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
