Crow Hawking

[Moorman 1 1,373]

Three flights today, good re call once the quarry had put into cover. On the third flight I could feel that the bird was zoned into her quarry, taking a stealth approach, low level until they rose and took flight. She picked her target amongst the group and almost had a bind on the first strike. Keeping the pressure on all the way I could see that she was going to win this battle, the crow bailed towards the ground and she bound to him before he touched terra firma. A nice flight and number 21 was in the bag.

Just trying to get the most out of her before we lose the evenings. It's very addictive I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

Two flights today, good re call. The second flight was a good chase mounting high and ending with a cigar. Kill 22.

As you can see by todays flights she had a good bit of exercise and a play about on the thermals.

Managed to slip out for a quickie after work. Quick slip on the black stuff and missed it, was having a bit of a fly about getting some lift off the side of a hill. I just reached into the bag for the lure I looked up and thought what is that coming towards me across the hill? She rolled over and got her wings in tight, I heard an almighty crack and a squawk. The gull dropped stone dead, she rolled over and followed it to the ground, job done! Kill 24

Thank you. I was going to stop as I thought that maybe it was a bit same old. I'm glad that it is of interest to you.
