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".
Author Biography
Steve Wright is an experienced falconer who has been flying and hunting with birds of prey for over twenty-five years. During that time he has trained hundreds of people in the sport of falconry. Steve owned his own falconry centre in Warwickshire for eighteen years. His time is now divided between putting on public falconry displays and organizing hawking-experience breaks and corporate falconry events.
