Shes a cracker Mike.
Goshawk is my favourite.

Not a falconer myself, but a shooting/country sports man!

Beaut!!
Knew a couple of guys in Fife who were big into their falconry, lots of birds, from kestrel and the odd rescued tawny to buzzards and a pair of eagle owls.
I had to help force-feed the female eagle owl one time when she was down with a respiratory infection, holding her head and opening her beak made me realise the amount of raw power there is in these amazing raptors!
Those yellow eyes look right into your soul!:eek:
Mike.

some peeps have all the fun.
Goshawks are my favorite bird and have to be one of the most perfectly formed creatures on the planet.
