Plenty of chases today and ended on a positive note with a nut runner in the bag. #3

Always good to see a grey getting nailed! Are they much risk to the bird? I’ve had dogs get a nasty bite off them.

Sorry for the late reply!

Yes they can end a birds career to be fair. It's always a quarry to try to avoid if possible, however if you free fly your hawk then they will come across them. They do give an exciting flight and a lack of rabbits forces your hand sometimes. Also they can learn a knack of handling them with a bit of experience, but it doesn't mean they'll always get away with it.

Looks like you are having a good start to the season. Are you much worried about the bird flu?

Yes all going ok seeings I started late. We are allowed to fly for exercise, it's a chance that you take. Either fly your bird or leave it at home. I try to keep it away from birds of any kind.
