My girlfriend and I were invited out to watch Falconry on new years day. I just thought I would share this awesome experience.
Here is the first falconer. Unfortunately his Hawk did not manage to catch anything. Chased a couple rabbits but they got away.
He was given a lure though
This is the second Hawk. I was at the other end of the field trying to flush rabbits when it ended up catching one. Here it is guarding it.
This is the third hawk
Brian calling it out of a tree.
Back in the tree
Now this is the 4th hawk. This was awesome. He had this dog that had so much energy it was bouncing off the walls. He uses it to flush rabbits out and to track them. This dog was diving in and out of thorn bushes like it was nothing.
I love this pic btw. It was not posed and the sun was behind him, creating a cool effect.
Flew 15ft from me
The dog lol
Hawk didn't catch anything but got it's treat at the end.
I hope you guys enjoyed the pics
