Lost Harris hawk?

[Dan Outdoors 13]

Driving through rugby warwickshire today and saw a Harris hawk fly over the road ahead of me, I wouldn't expect anyone to be flying one there so potentially it was lost.. It was over the great central reservation on the Ashlawn road.. Just thought I'd post it on here as it might be usefull if someone has lost one.. Atb Dan

are you sure it was a harris,warwick castle has just lost their whitetail eagle its been on central news.

[Dan Outdoors 13]

Well to my knowledge it was, are they vastly different? In laymans terms it was mostly dark/tan orange with the white tail with a black bar, what I would recognise as a Harris

[Dan Outdoors 13]

Just google imaged the white tailed eagle and it definately wasn't one of them..

Ok mate have you looked on the IBR website to see if a harris is reported lost in your area?

[Dan Outdoors 13]

No Tom, I just googled that to see what it was, I've now looked and there are none lost from my area.. Thanks for your input on this. Do I leave it at that? It was 36 hrs ago now n I guess they move on lots? Thanks again, Dan

I have no idea how to go about it chap but have no problem helping you. I work away during the week but can give you hand on the weekends if that's any good? Did you go looking for him this morning? Any signs?

I had to trap a mates bird last year made my own it works a treat easy to make and you dont have to do anything other then bait the trap I used 3 chicks as they stand out on the ground and it had eaten a few over the years you could use a rabbit or something else as well I sat some 100 yards away in my car until the trap sprung but you would have to no it is in the area.
