Flying imprint sparrowhawks is often unfairly portrayed as being
overly complex and highly technical. Sparrowhawks - A Falconer's
Guide aims to paint a far more informed picture, and to perhaps
dispel some of the myths. Written with the beginner in mind, it is
based on considerable first-hand experience of the author and a
number of other respected falconers from the United Kingdom,
Croatia, Ireland and Turkey who have specialized in flying
sparrowhawks. By drawing comparisons with some of the most ancient
trapping and training techniques of the East, and by making a
connection with modern Western falconry practices, this remarkable
book encapsulates the timeless beauty and joy of sparrowhawking,
which crosses all cultures. Topics covered include: equipment,
preparing to receive your sparrowhawk chick and imprinting;
training, behaviour, quarry, entering, field craft and hawking in
many different types of terrain; methodologies of captive breeding
in the West; problems associated with the rehabilitation and
release of wild sparrowhawks in the United Kingdom and finally, the
vitally important subject of sparrowhawk health and welfare.
