Who is behind Falconry World?
My name is Stephen Lea and I'm a falconer based in the UK.
I've been flying for over fifteen years and mainly fly longwings. As a falconer I know how important it is to hear about other peoples experiences. Shared information on the sport is invaluable. As well as being extremely interesting it can open up new perspectives, ignite ideas and save valuable time. I hope from reading these pages and sharing your own practices, you will do just that.
