Not to sound too dramatic but today was the last day of flying Glen. He's flown brilliantly, although we didn't catch anything he had plenty of chases into thick cover, and some of the best soaring he has ever done, making today a good day to end with.
The reason for stop flying Glen is so he can rest over summer whilst he goes through his moult.
Flying and training Glen has been such an experience for me, from the fist day of getting him off the breeder and seeing his little face not knowing where he was or who I was, to flying alongside me and looking forward seeing me every morning, and hunting with me and other Harris hawks.
The hard part for me is what to do whilst he is in moult! But he will see me every day passing his house to drop off food late morning and tea time, and doing other jobs around the garden.
I will try and keep you posted how he is progressing through his moult, and when re-training starts.
