Guest what a flight Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Yer lucky you , i loaned out my old female harris i still keep,she came back with her large middle toe missing , took clean of by a grey,she's caught loads too,one unlucky footing and they can do the damage with those chisell teeth. Its always nice to get the birds in the moult without having any mishaps,though on the last day of the gamehawking season,the pere disgraced herself ,taking a tight outrun she went over a farm and instantly tipped into a stoop,she never came back up so i shot over there and got a reading on the telem to under a shed,she had been pulled under and had hold of by the neck trying to pluck a huge leghorn,he was o.k and wanted to fight when i pulled her of him mine have gone away safely,the female peregrines in with a nice teircel,but upto now they don't seem to be getting on, the young hybrid gyrxpere will everntually be going in with her though,3 quarter pere's1 quarter gyrs make awesome game hawks . cheers, W A F...... Female peregrine with her last grey parto from a good point. gyr x pere tiercel on a grey from a good point. Quote Link to post
