I've been out with gyr x falcon , only had a point on a pheasant which whipped back into a hedge, was never too into it, enjoyed the pointer working. It is a lot of things coming together, got an invite to go with goshawks but anytime I get seems to be kids or dogs. It's a pure sport and I like the idea of it, but not really something you can dabble in....

You should go out with the Goshawks, I'm sure you won't regret it!

She's had some cracking flights on pheasants but been unlucky, found her with a fist full of feathers. She has had feather in the past.

Managed 2 kills today, fed up with the rain. Birds was wet from minute I arrived. Had some cracking flights, good for fitness flying when wet. Hard going for the hawk though.

Very testing day today only found the one rabbit. Flushed him once with the dog then bolted him twice, ending in success.

Three in the bag. Killed all we found and they were all good flights. A good distance and in high winds again. Testing conditions rain sleet and cold strong winds. First 2

Not been anywhere for feather yet.

Yes squirrel bites are a nuisance mate I had a good Harris's ruined by them.

Just got in, for once the weather was perfect. Struggled to mark anything in the beginning. Then had some really good flights. She didn't put a foot wrong. Another five in the bag.

Kills 1 and 2
