We hunt pheasants, rabbits, hare (if we are lucky), ducks. Where ducks are concerned, La Belle (a French goshawk) always traps the duck in the water, and returns to the bank by flapping her wings,...

Hi again,

Thanks for that. It's very interesting.

French female goshawks hunt at around 1k 60gm (even in the first year) and the male hunts at around 700gm in his first year ... after that he...

Hi Paul,

Frantz just took a look at your photos ... stunned. What kind of goshawks are they? Are they American? What weight do they fly at?

Mina

When my other half gets back I am going to show him the photos of your goshawks .... they are amazing. How many do you have? do you have other birds?

Thank you very much. It's in its infancy at the moment.

Ulysse (the English setter) is no longer with us. He lived to hunt :D and only to hunt.

Hmmmmmm it didn't work ?????

This is one of our French goshawks. she is 7 years old now.

Not sure if this will work as it's a link ... can't find a way to attach the photo at the moment ... looking for the familiar paperclip...

She is absolutely beautiful. Unusual colouring (compared to those we see in France). How old is she? We can take a young goshawk from the nest, but must leave the others. A guard accompanies us. ...

Thanks for the welcome. We have a mix of goshawks. Some are French, some finnish and some European. We are allowed to trap one in the wild every year, so one of the French is wild ... we hope the...

Hi,

we are new to forums and have recently joined the IFF. we are just feeling our way around at the moment. We live deep in the French countryside and keep harris hawks and goshawks. We are...
