Welcome to the oldest established falconry club in the United Kingdom. The British Falconers’ Club is dedicated to the preservation of the ancient art of falconry and the conservation of birds of prey. In 2002 the club celebrated its 75th anniversary, as we continue to uphold the finest traditions of this, the noblest of all field sports.
Within these pages you will find information and help for those of you thinking of taking up the sport of falconry on our Beginners page. You will find a description of the hawks most commonly used in British Falconry on The Hawks page and details of how to apply to join the BFC under Membership where you will also find our Code Of Conduct.
The memorial service for Richard will be held on Saturday 6 March at 11.30 am, in St Paternus’ Church, South Petherwin; and then afterwards for refreshments (light buffet lunch) at The Arundell Arms, Lifton.
It would be helpful if everybody who is going to come could let me know, please, so that we have an idea of numbers:

An organisation devoted to the preservation of the spectacular and ancient art of falconry is helping to spearhead a campaign to save one of our most threatened farmland birds, the wild grey partridge, which has suffered a massive 86 per cent decline over the past 40 years.
The British Falconers’ Club (BFC), which is dedicated to the conservation of birds of prey has recently joined forces with the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust and will be launching a visually stunning and extremely informative DVD on the methods and techniques needed to manage the land in order to boost wild grey partridge numbers.
In addition to launching the BFC’s DVD on 23rd October, the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust marked the end of its spectacular Grey Partridge Project at Royston in Herefordshire with an inspiring half-day seminar on Friday 23rd October. Grey partridge numbers have soared six-fold in spring on the project site and this seminar explained how many new initiatives, including the new Campaign for the Farmed Environment, could help to save one of our most threatened farmland birds, the wild grey partridge. The event also included a guided walk around the Trust’s spectacular partridge project to witness the now rare sight of a flourishing grey partridge population.
