Welcome.

The Steering Committee of the British Eagle Hawking Club feels that there is a need for an eagle club available to all those who need information or advice on hunting with eagles.

 

Whilst hunting with eagles in Britain does not have the same tradition as in other European countries, it is practised successfully by a small number of falconers. In recent years there has been a growing interest in eagle falconry and, with captive-bred eagles now readily available, more falconers are searching for information about, and help with, eagles. The aim of this club is to help those falconers.

 

There is little written information regarding the training and flying of
eagles and it needs to be recognised that these are complex and powerful
birds of prey. Today's falconers tend not to follow the traditional route of mentoring, so it is hoped that an eagle club will benefit those wanting to take on an eagle as well as encourage the sharing of experience of those
already flying eagles successfully.

 

If you have an interest in eagles and in hunting them, please contact us.
The British Eagle Hawking Club has created an internet-based discussion
group until such time as formal recommendations are proposed for the
structure and direction this club should take.

 

By contacting David Fox, the membership recorder at davidfox78@hotmail.com
with your full name, address and contact details, you will be invited to
join the BEHC discussion list where you can participate in all discussion
relating to the development of the Club and eagle falconry in general. We
look forward to hearing from you.
