how do you teach him to soar,mine she flys to tree's ,wall's ,satays and coma back when ever i call ;but to make him soar ,i do nat know the way,what do i have to do to make her that.????
@chriskeenan1 LOL. It was a fuji finepix S5700 digital camera. Not a camcorder. I wanted pics but as the bird seemed to soar higher and higher i thought i'd experiment with the video mode. Considering that, i thought the result was ok! Ive got a Nikon D500 now. Thats a quality camera which gives far better results.
@taffwall Sorry mate, I was just having a wee mickey take. Your hawk looks in great condition, as for the camera work, it's absolutely fine. I'm just jealous coz you've got hawks and I don't lol. I would love a harris hawk, but I wouldn't have the time to look after it. I live in Cumbernauld near the falconary centre, so at least I can pop in there from time to time. Keep up the good work.
@chriskeenan1 No worries. Cheers for reply. Hope 1 day you will have time for a hawk. Its a wonderfull experience. The feeling you get when you release it free for the first time and it comes back is really special.
Mine did the same thing the other day. Went over a mile away over 1000ft up out of sight, but worked his way back to me and had reward on the fist a few mins later after loosing sight of him. but thats imprints for you. Perfect weather conditions for it. great to see
Get on the 'international falconry forum' there is loads of advice on there for you. Conditions have to be right and it helps to start on a hill/mountain with a good breeze or thermal. Good luck
We found him a short distance away sitting on a rooftop. He came back to the glove then. Dave didnt have a lure/dummy bunny with him that day otherwise i think he would have stooped for it.

Was that the 1972 gas powered, or the famous 1968 coal fire powered video camera you have there. Sounds sheet.
