First day out hunting with 'Gypsy'

The Goshawk is a woodland hawk; with its short broud wings and long tail it is extreamly adgile. But thats not all that sets them apart they have muscles on both sides of their wings which gives them speed and power not only on the down beat but the up beat of the wings also.

So where did we take her? The woods of course!! As this was her first time out we wanted to keep her close letting her fire off the glove to a few rabbits. Though the rabbits have got great defence there's rabbit holes everywhere!! So no luck, back to the glove she came. But it was deffiantly our lucky day three cock pheasent and Gypsy was off and the pheasent ran into the bushes, she took rest in a tree of a few moments before diving down on her dinner... What a hawk; demonstrations, Tv and now Hunting 'Gypsy you really are a supper star :D
