The Hawks

Not all of the hawks used for falconry in the UK are mentioned below. You will not see Ferruginous Hawks, Lugger Falcons, Common Buzzards, Kestrels, Eagles etc. These are the mostly commonly used hawks flown by falconers in the BFC and indeed any other club in the UK. Don't forget, before you rush out and buy any hawk, read the BFC guide on our 'Beginners' pages.
