If you’re a regular reader of this blog you know that I’ve had some reservations about falconry in the past.\u00a0 After extensive discussion here, with input from falconers, I no longer have many of those concerns.\u00a0 Last night Mark Runnels (one of the falconers involved in that discussion) sent me the link to a\u00a0video clip that has simply fascinated me and I just had to share it. Like many others I sometimes fantasize about flight, especially as I watch a raptor soaring on the updrafts.\u00a0 The feeling of freedom and the ever-changing spectacular views that would come with three-dimensional mobility would be such an incredible rush.\u00a0 And if it could be done in silence (without engine noise) so that the only sound would be that of the air rushing by, so much the\u00a0 better. I’ve often\u00a0watched raptors playing “tag” with each other on the air currents and wondered what it would be like to join them.\u00a0 Well, this must be pretty close to that experience.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.\u00a0 Link below.
