Hello everyone,

I am indeed new to the NAFEX, but like the title suggest I have been hunting with hawks since I was 13. I have flown a passage Lanner, a few passage Shikras, an imprint Gabar goshawk, and I currently don't have a charge. All my falconry experience has been in Niger, where I grew up. I will soon be heading back to Niger and hope to trap a passage turumti (also known as a red-necked falcon/kestrel).

So that's about all, I do like this forum a lot more that the IFF though!

Stephen

P.S. Barkai is my traditional Nigerien name.
