SaeedNinja Hunter,
No sir they are not mine.
I asked for photos from people who hunt with them, and they were kind enough to give these to me.
I am hoping to get a few more, and when I do I will post them.

EnglanderHello from Scotland~
To me it looks like Saker falcon who has killed a bustard "Houbara"
I spent approx 12 years between Bahrain and Qatar.... i loved seeing the Falcon. In Qatar most guys hunted with Sakers although a mate of mine had a Lanner.
In all my years in Bahrain and Qatar i never did see a live wild "Houbara" or sand grouse, found a few dead. There was however "lots" of Dessert Hares you nearly steped on them before they would flush from cover.....always wished i had a Whippet with me..... I did manage to snare a couple though...skinny little buggers lots of ticks on them.
Cracking photos.... brings back some good memories of the hot dessert wind on my face......

OldsargeI've been a falconry buff since I was knee-high to a golden eagle. It isn't a hobby for those who have to earn a living or who live in the city but I swear that someday I'll be in a position to give it a shot. Beautiful, Saeed, just beautiful.
