Falconry Displays

Well the event season is over and despite everything we were quite busy and hopefully a cautious return of confidence bodes well for next year.

The good news from our point of view is that ‘Frank’ our male Lanner Falcon bred in 2019 has really come on and I am very hopeful that he will become another reliable falcon for our falconry and birds of prey displays. He is lovely tame bird and I have probably put more work into his training than any falcon since the early 90’s! that is lock down for you – I had the time to really develop him.

His contemporary falcon ‘Troy’ who is a hybrid falcon a cross between a Lanner and a Peregrine falcon completely missed last year and it will be much harder to bring him into the arena and sit on static display at shows. He is a wonderful flier really exciting so I am going to do all that I can to get ready.

He has recently finished is first moult and is looking very smart. So I will sign off with a picture of him taken yesterday.

The other news is that ‘Meadow’ our young Barn Owl hatched last summer is now fully trained and in following blogs I will write more on him – but he is going really well.
