No matey it was a friends bird....sadly the hawk is no longer with us...... a Goshawk on feather can be an amazing flight.

 

When flying my gos I only ever carries a small snapper to the pictures aint too good

I couldn`t believe the speed the Goshawk would achieve before slamming into the Pheasant ,The falconer was my mates work colleague [both MOD dog handlers] and they used a dog to flush the birds for the Goshawk .

he had a Golden Eagle that they were allowed to fly against Hares when the grass had been cut round the airfields but sadly it died about a week before we were due to go and see it fly ,It was a captive bred one i believe and she was massive .

Great shots by the way Steve.
