I had a 'taster session' a month or so ago. Fantastic afternoon. Met some birds, put on the gauntlet, had an owl on my arm for 30 mins, then went out in a field with all manner of falcons, eagles, kestrels, etc. I highly recommend it.

If you are ever in the Loire Valley in France, go to the Zoo at La Fleche.

Went there in August last year and watched a phenomenal falconry display, using falcons (obviously), eagles and vultures.

Completely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did a 3-day course in Falconry which culminated in hunting with a pair of Harris Hawks and two English Pointers over the Golpie heath...

Feckin (excuse the language) amazing.... did it on a one to one level which was awesome - you really should do it if you get the chance
