Hi mate,

 

I don't know where abouts in the NE you are but i did a falconry course near Thirsk , N. Yorks (www.falconrycentre.co.uk) they also arranged a hunting day which went down really well. It may sound backwards, but the course made me realise that now wasn't the time for me to get my own bird. but still had a great time and learnt a lot!

 

Good luck with the course!

hi

the course was great.seen lots of birds, hawks owls vultures and went out for a walk with the harris hawk they have there.they also taught me how to tie the falconers knot which i think i need alotta practice with.but i didnt learn much more than that.i still couldnt go out and get a hawk and look after it properly.so that course for although fun was a bit of a waste

[MARKR1985 15]

Was it an experience day rather than a course?
