Great pics! Looking forward to hearing some stories. I'd be interested to hear details about how they catch the birds (I assume they're passage), train them, etc. Do they have any laws or regulations over there re: falconry and raptors? What else do they typically fly? (I assume they don't just decide to be a falconer one day and start out on Goldens, or maybe they do if everyone else in their community is hunting with them.)

Thanks,
