First partridge today. Took a while to fine tune her and at 225 she is a machine. She took the partridge at a 200 yard flight

Smashing bird mate, please keep the photos and info coming on watched a nice female sparrow hawk take a magpie yesterday, had left my phone charging or I could have had a few pics

She had her first magpie today. Since the weather change she has really switched on. Just struggling to keep the tail. I've had to imp the hole tail nearly twice

The rain finally stop and I her out with my friend and his spar. Mine had first slip and it was a lucky Maggie. Then my friends one had a good flight and nailed her Maggie. Mine then hit a woody on the rise but couldn't hold on. And the final flight she connects with a crow all in all a good afternoon.

Had her out on they way home from work and flew a couple of Maggies she the first slip and had a good long slip a the second which she nail, she doing really well, and I couldn't be happier with her,

Going to imp her tail for the 3rd time tomorrow, I'll do a before and after pitcher. Now I've got a bigger travel box her tail will hold up. I got a box for a male Harris size bird this time.

Just went to check on the hawk and I must have made her leash to long, and found my two lurchers and my spar all asleep in onr dog bed

PpFinally done her tail, she only had 2 out side ones unbroken, and now a full tail. She can now stop and turn it didn't stop her from catching through.
