I have just checked Greg, they opened at Gleneagles in1982, 30 years ago. You are right, where does the time go. The last time I stayed there (on business) was in '85. I vaguely remember a group being taken to fly hawks, must have been her and Steve. Just shows, I only showed a passing interest at the time.

And Fraser, I think if you check, the photographs in the book are not recent,

All these books are much of a muchness. they are essential manuals to falconry, but hands on expperiace cannot be read.

Ford's books are, in my opinion, very second rate.

The last time I saw them they were at Chillham Castle but knew them before they moved there! I think it was a place called Stelling Minnis but don't count on the spelling being right!

Jeff,

No-one has a crystal ball, who knows where fate will lead us.

You are right, (I googled it) in Kent ? I had always thought that the photos were recent, until I read how long she had been involved in Falconry. A mate of mine got a Harris' from her two years ago, but that is another story, I suppose it is the same with DDW, thought she was a recent falconer, I might just go and listen to her talks at Mima's in September.
