    The collie. All that brainpower, trainability, and a nice sneaky feel for ferreting. Terrific!

    Hi John, I'm sure you will enjoy Harris Hawk Days: rabbits, pheasants - more of those hares - it's crammed with hawking action. I will be reprinting A Passion for Harris hawks early Spring. All the best, Martin

    Hill hawking – A few Photos I’ve been sorting through a few photos with the aim of putting a bit of a ‘Photo Album’ on my website. I’ve only just made a start but to view my amateur efforts so far, visit: http://business.virgin.net/fernhill.press/Photo%20Album.htm Martin

    Thanks John (and Penny), Hare hawking really is addictive stuff – and not limited to the brown hare. Away from the even and orderly arable, what could be more of a lure than the mountain hare? The whole experience is so different; and on difficult ground and when hares are not particularly abundant, this type of hawking can throw up plenty of challenges. Although it’s taking us away from the Christmas Hare theme, maybe I could offer a flight account? It’s the same team as before but this time we are Scotland in November. This snippet comes at the tail end of a chapter (from Harris Hawk

    Hi John, It’s a pity that hunting/falconry forums don’t seem to see a lot of book discussion (perhaps more on DVDs) – though this particular forum does seem to enjoy quite a bit of ‘book chat’ and Darcy’s titles always generate a good deal of activity. As far as Hawking with Golden Eagles is concerned, why not treat yourself this Christmas! All the best, Martin

    Hi Jasper, Thanks for your comments. I haven’t seen Bob Haddon for many years. I of course remember Belen. I saw her fly a few times – at Bob’s and at a WHC meet – in what must have been the beginning of the 80s (81,82?). Seems like ages ago now. Guess it was! Martin

    The Christmas Hare – A seasonal hawking tale With Christmas only a short flight away, I thought I’d offer this hunt account. The story finds me out with my wife, border collie and Harris, desperate to set the Boxing Day menu. http://business.virgin.net/fernhill.press/extract8.htm Hope you enjoy the tale, Martin

    I'll second that! Of late i have been really hitting the Peter Hathaway Capstick books hard and they are amazing. 'Death in the Long Grass' is the finest piece of writing i have ever read. JD, It's interesting that in praising Remmler's book your mind went to Capstick's writing. I've noticed one or two others do the same. I picked this up on a US forum: 'If you want to read about a times past that will never be repeated...this is a must read!This book is right up there with “Death in the Long Grass†and the “Last Ivory Hunter†by Peter Capstick.' The style? Tension created? Wha

    Joined the forum last night but couldn’t see how to introduce myself – probably get it wrong this morning too! My main interest is falconry – all ground game – but I have enjoyed a little hunting with running dogs and am also a keen ferreter, using them mainly with hawks. Anyway, intro over – let’s see if I can get it to post where it should be. Martin
