Nigel Evans 0 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I am new to the forum,having had a female redtail for 11 years,sadly she passed away last year.I am currently awaiting a new bird this year having a deposit for a bird already down. I am however undecided as to species,what is determing my choice will be based on land quarry etc.currently my permissions do not carry a lot of available quarry.What are peoples thoughts on a sparrowhawk as I was leaning towards an accipiter,this would allow greater success with small birds being more plentiful,however I am aware it iswidely documented that they are notoriously difficult but an inprint would lesson issues a little. So get another red,friends in the club say try another bird and have recommended a gos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,511 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hello and welcome mate , i think your wise looking at your quarry for what type of bird your getting as there was a article saying it may take the rabbit 20 years to come back if at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry71 269 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Welcome mate, like you I will be getting a bird this year. My permission still as pheasant, hare, duck, and small pockets of coney so my bird of choice is a Harris I did think about a Goss but this will be my first bird and a mate as a hh and I'm learning as much as I can before getting my chic. Building mews etc at moment just getting bases down. I like the look of redtails are they like a hh in the way they hunt. Atvb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
