Could be the stress of the move, probably start again soon. I notice with my MHH that when weather was warmer and sunnier a few weeks ago he was dropping more feather, now its cooled off he's slowed up.

There's a few in the Perth area, the best thing to do is get in contact with the British Falconers Club, they will pass your contact details to local falconers.
