peregrinus minor (african pere)

[Grey_Squirrel_Hawker]

are there many folk flying them in the uk? i did handel, but never flew, a female where i used to work. how do they compare to british pere's. i understand that the teircels are quite small, what sort of weights do they fly at and what sort of quarry in the uk are they good on?
just curious

Tend to be smaller and stockier than peregrinus peregrinus, and my 2 appear to be more aggressive. Naturally want to wait on, and although didn't get long to fly my tiercel last year had a teal and woodcock on the last day I flew him!! Flew approx 400g

what sort of weight did the teircel fly at? the falcon i worked with flew at 1.8 and was aggressive as hell, although i have to say i was the only one who could clean her beak off after feeding without getting bitten!

got a pic of her but she did not like being photographed so its not great quality

what sort of weight did the teircel fly at?
