Hi Paul,

be careful, reading those old classics becomes addictive, and even more so if it relates directly to your own falconry.

Bert is undeniably a classic (as are Mavo's Hawk for the Bush and Ronald Stevens' Observations), and another you might enjoy is Fredrick II's book.

For me, my 'classic' isn't so old, but ranks right up there amongst the best falconry books ever, and that's Ray Turner's Gamehawk.
It relates directly to my circumstances and ambitions, but anyone flying a falcon from a waiting on position in particular, will benefit greatly from reading and understanding it (of course Ray would cite Latham, Bert, and Fredrick II as hugely important falconry classics).

Happy reading,

Tony.
