Hi Guys
Just joined the forum and enjoying it. Im from sunny South Africa and have been practising falconry for the past 40 something years. Flown a lot of passage and haggard Black Sparrowhawks and Lanners and have specialised in passage African peregrines the past 20 years. Have also been breeding and hacking peregrines since 1993. Also have red nape shahins and have flown rocky mountain and Canadian anatums and one Scottish peregrine. From what I have read so far I am in good company.

Welcome aboard! It's good to have an addition with experience from having gone around the block a few times. I'm sure you'll be able to share some interesting experiences from your area of the world. Some interesting species you have down there.
Enjoy yourself and chime in when you can.

Hello Alan,

Also looking forward to photos and descriptions of hunting/quarry with falcons in SA. Looks like you have a Pointer as well.

All the best,
Katy

Nothing wrong with a lot of dogs, I say. :)
