Eagles & hares in the fog!

We conclude our Bonellis eagle training set as well as seeing some superb action between golden eagles and Harris hawk too!
The young birds were on fire but my goodness the hares here had some fancy foot work ! Flying in thick fog also caught the inexperienced birds out at times!
Zeus took his first game of the season !
Thanks to Tom carnihan for the thumbnail

Spent the last hour thinking about the negatives of this video - I've got nothing. Superb.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Hehe; you need to get out more hehe! Cheers for that

[@ryanenglish8047]

Bonelli's Eagle is a bucket list bird for me

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Worth waiting for

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

Thx Dave, for capturing the beauty of "The Sport of Falconry", the purest form of hunting to ever exist.🏆

[@freebirdofreason1994]

Just breathtaking I guess I felt like a football fan watching a game, I was buzzing with hope watching this video. I hate football hehe. Top Falconry gets the hairs standing. 🏆🥇

[@johnwilkes7190]

Brilliant

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

[@agentorange9719]

fantastic video guys, new subscriber

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Thankyou

[@leggy6234]

Got to admire how the Hare's jink and jump to escape their predators, and fair play to them when they get away, evolution, really enjoyed the video, more of this please, regards.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Yeah they’re the best ; they make this being prey thing look easy for the most part ….

[@countycricklewood]

Beautiful healthy looking birds!

[@cozzy206]

Really enjoyed that pal.............keep up the great work with these fantastic birds

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Cheers!

[@MichaelDavis-pq6ei]

You looked like you had a great time Dave. So good to see so many get away. They will be stronger next time. Good luck with your hunting wish I could be there.😊

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

It was nice on the frosty day to not carry the fat lump around and enjoy seeing other birds fly !

[@beecee985]

Awesome stuff, real natural hunting x

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Cheers

[@TheMaazTube]

This is an amazing channel. Living in a country where falconry is prohibited, I live out my dream of being a falconer vicariously through these videos. Awesome stuff! Keep it up, Dave!

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Remind me where you live again?

@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy I live in Norway, Dave. The golden eagle is a very popular bird here, and quite abundant in the north, where they have been documented hunting reindeer. It's called king's eagle in Norwegian.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Royal eagle in Spanish . I’m surprised Norway doesn’t allow falconry , crazy stuff

[@johnc1200]

Thanks Dave, really enjoyable vlog, cant wait to see more this season,. . If you get a chance tell us more about Kyles Goldie.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Cheers ! And will do, I’ll Find out the facts and let you know

[@shaneshac]

Excellent footage and really close slips. Those goldies do cover a lot of ground. Hope both birds get their first kills soon.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

The Bonellis caught its third yesterday , the eagle very close but still to take one since Kyle’s had him; very close tho so almost there !

[@jamesbonelli9680]

great fun, wish i were there

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

It’s all turned into swampland here at the mo! So much rain! We popped out yesterday and one ploughed field we sunk to almost tops of wellies in every step ; exhausting !

[@orkokatanablade3010]

Nice video. Is the bird an imperial eagle?

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

The one on the thumbnail is a Bonellis eagle

[@tadjeddineamraoui8299]

The bad eagle in the word is Bonneli eagle

Harris hawk looked bad on the hare , had to turn off unfortunately.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Watch again ; it wasn’t chasing that hare , it was chasing the first one that got up about ten metres in front , which beat her to the hedge . A more experienced bird sometimes will swap targets but often they pursue the ones they first lock on to so to speak . She’s good , I’ll get some More footage of this young girl Again soon

[@hobby684]

Kid yourself but not most falconers .I Respect the hare to much to put a Harris near a hare walked up with thermal . Come back to this comment when its banned.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

@hobby684 I don’t need to kid myself ; it’s not my hawk! However I have seen this young hh perform . I dont hunt hares with hh but what’s your problem so to speak with that ? I can show you a fhh that fly hares as well as any golden eagle over any length slip you care to show her ? Thermal or no thermal ( ps I dont own one of those either …but for my thoughts see previous video )

[@hobby684]

Come back to this comment when Hawking is banned . You don't need to put this on KZbin there is other platforms or apps you could post on. KZbin is called you tube for a reason. Show off and you'll knacker it for everyone.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

@hobby684 if you look at my falconry videos you’ll hardly find a dead animal and certainly nothing gory ; youlll also find a lot of help style videos; look at all the falconry content over all social media; I really don’t think anything I post will be contributing to getting falconry banned whatsoever ; your trolling has started about a harris flight and turned into a falconry ban, if you have a point to get accross then do so; but make your mind up what it is as thus far you seem to be just a troll
