Bloody hell something like that bothers you that much that some lazy bar stuards can't be bothered to look is it really that big of a deal surely not. And this sounds like a moan to me. Lol
You can count on one hand how many we did this year mate! been looking to cut back on Goshawks completely in favour of straight Peregrines for a couple of years now, it was obviouse how things was going but it seems its happening much quicker. we'll be finished with the Goshawks hopefully sooner rather than later.
thankfully over the years we kept back stock from the old breeding pair of Peregrines, they're good sized genuine pure stock which we'll now be concentrating more on these.
best of luck with the peregrines mate, bosses are going the same as the Harris my uncle paid 2000 not t
Its a pretty safe bet I would say. looks like there's plenty around to choose from judging from all the adverts

Did notice the price drop normally a sign of lots about mate saw a advert for a female Finnish for 1,200 quid he'll of a drop your orders full are they mate?
Hi all just question who's picking a goss up for the coming season male female pr,imprint,Finnish,german,chech,pure or crosses be interested to see how many are having parent reared bet more will be imprinting. Atb Matt
Hi I would consider selling you ak as they are funny little beggars I would be willing to pay what you paid for it, and then you can get a new bird that has alot more forgiveness. No bother if not just giving you a option. Atb matt
Size with a Harris isn't that big of a deal my male hunts at 1lb 1oz and takes everything except hare obviously. My female flys at 2lb 7 1/2 and takes everything but I love the style of males they are brilliant in woods and hedge hawking. A good working gun dog pup would be the finished team mate be worth looking into get a lot more sport with a good dog if you haven't got one already. Atb Matt
Try and find someone with a goss to talk to and I would get a pr eyass if I were you,as by the sounds of it you don't have any imprint experience and their is nothing more worse than a badly imprinted goss.And books are a good idea as mentioned but if I were you find someone local to talk to. Best of luck Matt
Have seen lots lurchers work great with them and terriers but my Wippet was great I think any lurcher/greyhound cross or terrier would suffice mate youl get a bigger bag with the aid of a dog to chase down any escapees that slip out the net tab matt
Top job mate I prefer fly my male to my female great in the woods after a ferreted bunny . Hope you do a dairy on him il look out for it best of luck Matt
Saw the adults releaseing prey for the young. and i rung 6 clutchs when i was the bird warden on the calf of man was a great experience witch i go back for every year.
Crows and Gulls for me,ill be interested to see if you can catch a Magpie with a Kestrel! ive caught a few various with an imprint Kes but ive never heard of anyone catching anything bigger than a grey partridge with one and that was flown in a cast with a lannerette.Good luck matey ,keep us updated.
Cheers mate will do. ive heard of a few taking magies but only a few but i will try my best.is that with your new bird looks a great bird. bring on the season and good luck.
