Falconry Displays

As I mentioned in my last blog I would post a couple pictures of ‘Sprite’ our Peregrine Falcon looking very smart after moulting through the summer. The male peregrine is known as the tiercel – which is an old french term meaning that he is roughly one third smaller than the female. She is know as the falcon and he the tiercel.

He is now in the process of being trained by me. He has been flown before but he needs to be retrained after a long lay off.

They have an excellent memory retention of training and generally speaking it is a straight forward process of reintroduction. He is doing well.
