I think everybody in falconry needs to watch this, they've become obsessed with the goshawks and other birds. The Harris deserves the ultimate respect and there's no greater partnership than a Harris and its owner. Great vid 👍
Great thanks.
How many Goshawks have you flown?. Anyone who has successfully flown any bird of prey knows how rewarding the personal feedback is. Some are more challenging than others ie Goshawks, Sparrowhawks etc. Enjoying the success is what matters. Enjoy your flying and good luck.
First class , brilliant, Some fantastic filming, editing of the best quality.
Thanks for taking the time to build this film , it is hawking at its best, some fantastic shots of the action, dogs ,man hawks ,ferrets, all working at a team.
Good luck in the future , some lovely land and scenery you have there.
Thank you very much! I love being out in the field...!
@@hawkinsfalconry me also, good luck hawking.
Simply stunning. What total understanding for all the team, the quality is exceptional. 18 years young, Frederick is an inspiration. All the best for next season.
My Yorkshire Hawks Many thanks Yorkshire Hawks. Have a great moult and new season.
Harris Hawks are THE BEST hunting partners,thanks for sharing this great footage...
What a fine bird! Splendid videography under some difficult circumstances. I love the elegance of the eagle, but the hawk is a powerhouse and will not be denied. Thank you Nigel
Jim McDonald Many thanks Jim much appreciated.
Shows what a fit Harris is able to do. Fantastic birds. Love the waiting on!
Steve Hove Many thanks
@@hawkinsfalconry is the waiting on, trained or does he do it naturally? Its trained, yes?
Steve Hove Some Hawks take to it better than others, it’s a natural hunting strategy in the hills and thermal updrafts. I reward them for going high then increase duration. (My Bonelli’s does it for nearly three hours). I always try to provide a quick slip in early training like game hawking to reinforce their team hunting otherwise they can rake off looking elsewhere. Harris’ Hawks are normally quite good at hunting in cooperation with humans, dogs and ferrets so soon learn it’s more successful if they hunt in a pack. Following-on, waiting-on or off-the-glove are all excellent techniques if trained correctly and sufficient amounts of time.
@@hawkinsfalconry I know! 😉 Great work!
What a wonderful flier is Fredrick! Fast and agile. Gamey as hell.
Bob Myerly Cheers Bob, yes he’s fit as a fiddle and fast. Simply fly him most days like yourself 👍 Thanks
Best falconry channel on RUclips, no comparison.
Tommy Handley Thanks very much for the awesome comment there Tommy, much appreciated. I’m just editing an eagle training video so keep an eye out.
Hawkins Falconry can’t wait!
@Tommy Handley got to say we agree with 110% on nigel having the best falconry channel here on RUclips! Look forward to each new video you upload here nigel....16 minute + mark where Frederick's up there just flowing in the currents, it's simply magnificent to see him in all his glories!
@@SurprizedDaily Many thanks for your kind words! Not long until the next video is out. It's an eagle diary video thats going to be around 40 to 50 minutes long. I'm just waiting on a few video clips & photo's from the breeder of when The Colonel was a wee chick to add to the final edit.
Regards
Nigel
@@hawkinsfalconry very cool, looking forward for that one definitely, it's always a pleasure seeing all the fantastic footage you upload here for our enjoyment. Seriously thinking on getting into falconry here myself! Have red tail hawks out back here that have been here for the past several years and have always been connected to the red tails since I've been a boy! cheers mate
Some beautiful shots and great footage. Also that is one beautiful Harris hawk.
Great thanks. Yes he sure is a character. Awesome to spend time in the field with him!

Schönes Tier, eins der besten Videos 👍
brilliant as usual,well dons.
Thanks very much...!
Hunting with birds of prey is definitely the most ethical method of hunting, i might even own my own bird one day
Ethan Skerry Although western civilisation will have you thinking otherwise, believe it or not hunting is totally natural. Most people are far too detached from the natural world these days.
If you have the time, land, patience and dedication you’ll never regret the life changing effect falconry will have on you.
Hawkins Falconry i see what you mean it’s just encouraging natural behaviours with birds of prey
Ethan Skerry It sure is a weird world sometimes. Some people say to me they disagree with hunting. Then happily go to a supermarket and get a plastic wrapped chicken off the shelf that’s spent it’s whole life living in a shed with 10.000 others. I know which method of gathering food is more ethical. But the person buying the chicken believes they are right? Until they’re educated on modern farming techniques...
VERY time consuming!
btw...the 'intro' is incredible!
Dave Sharpe has talked about how a well-trained and well-conditioned Harris's is an incredible hawk, and you certainly show this here!
I get the impression that Harris's are not only good 'performers', but seem to have tremendous intelligence, well beyond what one expects of 'instinct', and also look to be real "partners" with falconer, and other "team members".
It must be a real pleasure to work (and play?) with your hawk?
Notice how birds of prey always fly with the Sun behind them so predators cannot see them so well. Really clever. As seen around the 18 minute mark.
Darren Porter Yes. Airforces around the world have adopted this surprise attack strategy. Nature has all of the answers if you analyse it enough.
The reason is more that the sun is now out of the bird's eyes then any concious effort of "hiding" in its glare. It is more a happy coincidence.
@@Steves_fish It's so the prey cannot see them. Lots of times I have tried to take a photo of a Kite hovering for example, and the sun is always right behind!
What a magnificent bird awesome
Excellent thanks very much.
See I like it !!!! Just let the bird hunt it’s own meals that way he eats and you get to spend time and energy with them! The reward for you is the time you spend together and the bond you build at home it’s great. Not to mention those great four legged babies out there with you so well trained to let that bird eat that close to them .
Exactly. Many thanks!
Nice Video
Thanks
brilliant
chris casey Thanks
What a fantastic bird. Harris' Hawks seem to be more feisty and agile than our common buzzard. Was that a squirrel @ 13:40?
👍👍👍
please go uplouding again!
Hello: i was wondering if you normally kill the rabbit that your 'young man' has captured, and then "share the meal", as it appeared in one shot? Great video, your Harris' seems to have a lot of persistence, and is not shy about smashing into some brush!
Love the quality of video output...some breathtaking scenes of nature...where about in the country is this ?
Thank you. It was filmed in Wales, Shropshire and Staffordshire.
Great video! What is the coldest temps you can fly that bird in?
Thanks, flown in minus 10 no problem at all. The most important thing to consider when managing at temperatures approaching freezing is wing tip oedema. I always free-loft my birds so they can roost at around 5ft to 6ft high away from frost level.
Muy buenos lances!!
Diego Marchena Gracias
If you know any good falconers That sponsor people in Boston let me know
I love watching your videos! What kind of bells do you fly your Harris hawks with?
Thanks. I use Dave Noble bells. Size 0 or 1 on my male Harris' Hawk and size 1 or 2 on my Bonelli's Eagle cheers.
I use those bells too!! How cool :D thanks for the info. It’s so fun watching your birds fly.
Hi, great video I'm looking to get into the sport, 1st starting with the dog then introducing a bird. Can you tell me what training you used on the dogs to get them to point and flush so well. Great team you have got going there! Many thanks
Nick A If I had the time to write a few paragraphs I would my friend. The versatile gundog book by Guy Wallace is a good starting point for training. It’s like anything in life. You get out what you put in. Good luck in training.
What camera do you use Nigel
Hi, I use a Panasonic HC-VXF 1 & Canon 5D MKiv with 70-200mm
Brilliant but muted the Music
Очень интересно👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 это профессионализм ✌
Are you Harris hawks fast enough to gain on pheasants in flight?
Kniv97 Waiting-on and following-on yes where he can transfer height into speed. Off the glove he’s good for up to around 100ft then the pheasants are faster and start to pull away on flat land. If the lay of the land involves a downhill flight he will make up ground.
Hawkins Falconry Wonderful! Thank you Nigel!
