1st yb lost to hawk

[Guest]

 

 

Frank--I think the purpos of the transmitter is to prove that the captured birds can still live a normal life when relocated. This has to be proven I think to then ask that licences be granted  to make trapping and release legal. If fanciers are granted a licence legally then I suppose they could be relocated into any dustbin.

I believe all the captured birds have been released in South Ayrshire.

But do I understand that this one has returned to Davy Flemming from there. How far is that?

Is this a homing Sparrowhawk?

 

only one way to deal with a problem sort it yourself

[Guest Davy Fleming]

put an ets or rubber  ring on it and maybe we can  time them  in without worrying about them getting caught  by other hawks

[Guest Davy Fleming]

I DID SAY  to the researcher that I didn't realize that they  can have an instinct from that distance and he stated neither did we

Where abouts are you Davey

[korhil]

where do you get the traps from?

[Guest]

What Davy is discussing is an exercise run by the SHU and the traps are supplied by them.

 

They can be bought on e-bay but t is illegal to own one. Many fanciers have them

Does this mean that the Sparrowhawk returned to Armadale from about 80 miles distant.

 

 

[PATTY BHOY]

Just caught my 3rd sparrowhawk in 4 weeks but need to report this one  and awaiting the guy from the falconry coming to collect it as I have one of the 15 licencees in Scotland to catch them. If I remember correctly the licence runs out at end of month then it's back to you know what.

 

Then it will be time to ring their f##### necks. ;D ;D ;D ;D
