Thanks Marek some great photographs, well done! I liked them very much. They succeed in giving one a feel of the Festival. It's obvious you had great fun. Whats the story behind the "Monk" that appears in many photos?

Hi Trevor,

Thank you. I'm happy with pictures as well. I know that there were many other things which deserved to be covered but it wasn't in my hands to make it.

"Monk" is my colleague Tomas from Czech Republic. He got that dress from real monk and thought that would be nice to have it during the festival - he thought that "represents" our country.

Thanks Marek. Tell Tomas he's a lunatic and braver than most

Take care

Thanks for sharing your photos here Marek! It was great fun tagging along with you out in the desert camp. Also Tomas' robes got mistaken for a dark thobe many many times!

He could certainly teach western falconers a thing or two about manning. his gentleness and consideration for the Shikra's welfare had to be seen to be believed. The following photo's are roughly in sequence ,

Woody was great with this hawk very gentle and it flew perfect for him.
