Falconry World

Well here is another short film with my English pointers running on the Grouse moor in England. This time I managed not to loose any of my equipment. Grouse numbers are looking good and promises much for those lucky enough to visit the grouse moor with any falcon.

Well here is a slightly longer version with a few shots of Jess and amber my english pointers working the moor. This is my first attempt editing using Final Cut Pro and was the first day I used my canon 7D. I’m reasonably pleased with the results. The pointers both have Marshall radio tracking collars on as they sometimes point out of sight. I wish I’d have had a tracker on my lens I lost that day. Never mind…

This is just a quick video of a red grouse I filmed the other day with my 7D before I had a disaster and lost the 100-400mm canon lens. The grouse look in healthy numbers once again on the moor despite a severe winter. I spent seven hours trying to re-find my gear but with no luck.

Jess one of my star english pointers is about to have pups. Not only that she was mated with Simon Highams dog which is as pure an Embercombe line as you can get. The famous Embercombe line was created by falconer Steve Franks who is famous for his longwings but even more so his pointers that have kept longwing falconers in game for some decades now. Jess amd Amber my other pointer work on Wemmergill moor counting grouse and this year I took Simon’s dog up with me. He was really good if not alittle over anxious but staedy as a rock on point with both of mine. The pups will be available in late July and will mean Zoe can’t come to the falconry festival due to puppy sitting duties. If anyone is intersted in a pup please let me know. Hope you enjoy the pictures of her at work.
