Hi all, I'm John from United Kingdom relatively new into the art of falconry/hawking. Purchased my first bird last year which was a Male Harris Hawk. Didn't have such a good 1st year into the sport as my bird ended up with quite a nasty bite to is leg off a water rat, he ended up having a operation to remove abscess that had formed due to the bite. Now recovering quite nicely and going through is moult with no problems ended up putting him down to moult quite early due to the injury he sustained. I also purchased a GSP dog i had him sent away to be trained so he can work along side of my bird looking forward to the coming season. I have a very good Mentor he has 20yrs experience at the back of him regards Raptors very grateful of all is advice and appreciate is time and knowledge he gives me. Also have a couple of ferrets not worked them yet with my bird hope to do so this coming season, that's basically it a little run down of me my bird dog and ferrets thank you all. and i look forward to the stay cheers Jon........
