that is a aplomado falcon , looks like a female or it could well be a aplomado x Peregrine , who owned it , was it one of Bob Daltons or Jose Sota's ?

just wanted to add the fact that this guy has also gone on all the free forums where he can remain nameless and faceless and slate my mate off , instead of going on the paid for forums where me mate is well known , as he knows he would of been told to do one , because this guy is well respected and a Very good falconer , i agree that some mistakes have been made on both points to some extent , the biggest being that my mate has wasted over a year trying to help someone who stabs him in the back as soon as he gets a chance oh and by the way he also took some equipment that he never paid for , w
