Weasel time


Glen has now had his first catch of the season.

A weasel!
unfortunately Glen sustained four bites! And he wasn't happy about it!
I will update how the bites recover.

Here's a pic I got of the weasel when we got home, and for a small creature it's sure got sharp teeth!

Its quite odd that I was out with my mentor flying 2 of his Harris hawks a few days ago when his female (Lady the Harris hawk) caught herself a weasel.

Could it just be a coincidence or did Lady tell Glen how to catch one?

Free flying

Well with weather conditions and Glen keeping his fat weight it has taken a little longer to get him free, but today he has flown free!

Now its time for some good fitness sessions to get his stamina and agility back!
