No prizes for guessing what this book is all about. I've not read it, but then I don't need to cos my dog's bloody brilliant .....and he can't read anyway. PS. I lied, he's hopeless!
God knows, does anybody really understand owls. Not the sharpest tools in the box but gorgeous all the same. This book is a great (easy to read) guide to owl husbandry, training and flying.
Oi, what's this geezer got against hawks then? Probably not worth buying it if you fly a Harris', Gos or Red. If on the other hand you fly eagles or falcons..............you're on a winner.
What a book. This must now rate as one of the best books on falconry, it's absolutely stuffed with gems of knowledge. Possibly not the best choice for a novice as it might be a bit too 'heavy going'.
This fella's a legend. A 'must have' book for anybody wishing to train a dog for falconry. PS. It helps to have a dog too! PPS. And a bird ! PPPS. And patience! PPPPS. And this book! PPPPPS. Which is now out of print I've just been told and I've just sold the last copy. Time for a re-print soon methinks.

A collection of hawking stories, many having been published in country mags. If I was old school I'd tell you it is a 'jolly good read'. I'm not, so it's just cracking.
This DVD (also available on VHS) is action packed, amusing and entertaining. Featuring Goshawks, Redtails, Harrises and Golden Eagles. Brilliant - watch for the 'bucking bronco' sequence with the tenacious male Harris'.
A real 'must have' series for the serious falconer or the newcomer. Series of DVDs include the following:
Nutrition - Food, feeding and the effects on your bird.
Basic Training - I probably don't need to explain the content of this one.
Anatomy - This one tells you all about the bones and internal squishy bits!
Health Care - You want to know the signs of good health and poor health? How to keep your bird in the peak of good health? Watch and learn.
Fitness Training - Keeping your bird at or close to the peak of fitness is essential for your bird's wellbeing and hunting success - pick up some essential advice from this great DVD.
You want to know about breeding? Your other half has got a headache? Try this series for some great looking birds! Includes booklet, but only with the full set of 4 breeding DVDs. Don't ask me why, I only sell it!
Part 2 - Imprints and Insemination - Look at the bird's face - I think he's just found out that his dad is a syringe!!
Part 3 - Incubation and Hatching - Information given so that we can all understand it. Well made and informative.
Part 4 - Rearing - This is when they get expensive, what with university fees, car insurance etc......
Now in clear DVD cover. (not as shown) A really professionally produced and superb DVD with loads of action shots. Includes Redtails, Goshawks, Harrises and various falcons. This really is one not to miss.
