@@thepracticalanimal just a small interesting fact, my HH Woody is descended from a HH called Izzy , he was taken to Jemimas centre
Many many years ago,my friend the Falconer that helped me start had some involvement at the centre, he had taken Izzy there.
I bought my HH Woody from a guy that worked for many years with Jemima , knowing the blood line was from Izzy a very tenacious hunter.

That is very interesting. You must be very pleased with him.

ICBP closing to the public after 55 years,such a shame.

Indeed so, though the conservation work sounds interesting.
