Yesterday I tossed youngsters from Eurocentral.I don't hear very well and I left the youngsters sit for a few minutes to adjust. My wife came out the car saying she could hear a screeching noise and she was certain it wasn't seagulls.We searched the sky and saw no signs of hawk activity. I released the birds and they cleared like rockets.The screeching continued and I looked round at the Amazon building to see a falconer standing with a falcon of some kind on a perch.He nodded at me and I gave a 2 finger salute .He continued to feed his hawk and I assume he has a contract to keep the area clear of ferals so it's probably worth noting that he is operating in that area.
