Anything in a trap that moves either manually or not will usually do the trick check out any of the falconry books or the net you,ll find loads of methods from easy to difficult to catch them.Incidentally your keeper friend seems very tolerant towards this bird eating his partridges not like any in his trade that i know of,i suspect this bird is still alive only to wait for the dubious owner to be found or turn up to have the full might of H.M Constabulary feel said collar and fine him with compo for his naughty birds misdeeds.Ha Ha best of luck anyway,where are you situated anyway?if you were close enough i consider helping.

i was taking to the tennant on the nearby farm and he said its been kocking about for over a year so i think if its found food on its own it will be hard to catch but maybe im wrong

if its bein around for a year surely your going to keep it but could you ever get it used to captivity?

 

if i caught it i would try to keep it, or give it to someone who keeps them, i think it would calm down a mate lost a ferret for 6 months when he found it it was wild but after a few days it was like a baby again

The hawk has been caught and taken to a falconery centre
