This volume traces the history of falconry, providing a detailed guide as to how it is practised today.
Falconry has been practiced in Britain since C. AD 860 and is an extremely demanding and skilled sport. Emma Ford, a falconer since the age of six, describes the equipment required for the sport and, using photographs of the popular species, explains the characteristics that make them ideal hunting birds.
With an emphasis on the contribution falconers make to the conservation of wild birds, this book is a complete guide to a sport that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.
