Product Description

Aimed at both those who are on the point of taking up falconry as well as those who already have hawks, "Falconry - The Essential Guide" examines all aspects of the sport and is packed with practical advice and information. The author's enthusiasm for his subject is infectious and the text is written in a clear, accessible style. His realistic approach to falconry is demonstrated by his assertion that we should "not let people over-complicate the theory" and that we should "stick to common sense and consistency".

Customer Reviews

One of the best
Of the 5 books on falconry I've bought so far this is the best one. In less than 150 pages you will known what is really falconry, what you can expect from a bird of prey (Bop) but also what you will never get. You will know as well whether it is sensible for you to start practising falconry or not. Of course, as this book is relatively short in pages you are bound to be eager to buy other books but you'll find out that few will content information not already present in this excellent book.
