Just saw a fantastic program on Channel 5 about seeing how fast peregrines could fly, 204mph WOW!
Would be great to see some pics of birds of prey if anyones got any

Don't have a BOP but i know a guy who does, he has P.Falcons and flies them on my dads land and surrounding area. I went to his house last year and he took me in the garden when i walked out the back door he had 3 sitting on his lawn, it was amazing, a rat ran accross his garden and they all looked at it in a flash.

Next year Dave is hoping to get a Redtail Hawk he is learning all about falconry at the moment.

brilliant program says my hubby hes just watched it

My redtail



Heres a pic of my female redtail

Shes a stunning bird, How big is she? Does she catch her own food or do you have to feed her?
I wouldn't have the time to keep a bird of Prey but they are amazing creatures. We spend hours watching buzzards and Red Kites, we've even put stuff out to attract them into the meadow. We had what we thought was a sparrowhawk in the garden last week, just sitting on the ground but we think it was after the bantams and it seemed too big. By the time i'd got the dogs out of the way, shed gone so I didn't get a good look.
