thanks sean
most helpfull
i did a google search the other day but it didnt bring up all them sites
mind you im no bill gates when it comes to the pc   as ditch knows
i have contacted the the dublin school of falconry about the courses
they do 3 courses
course 1 is a 5 hour introduction to falconry
cousre 2 is a 2 hour theory lesson once a week for 4 weeks
course 3 is a 4 day intensive course
as i have absolutly no experience with birds of prey,                                                                                                    i will enrole in the 3 courses they are not cheap at all, but i think essential
before even contenplating getting a bird
i will keep you posted
once again many thanks bb

" :notworthy: " <-- Ye know the one, Billy

I SALUTE YE! If only More f*ckin people took that level of responsability. It's all very well and good seeing " Kes " and snapping a bird out of the Exchange and Mart with half a notion of 'Fixing up the shed' to house it.

Please do keep us informed. It'll make a fasinating record of progression
