Well, what a time we have had with all the bad weather – the worst for 30 years. Thank goodness all that snow has gone and I hope you all have had a good flying season.

Now is the time when our hawks and falcons are put down for either moult or breeding. Whatever happens, let’s hope everything works out okay for everyone.

As you will see, in this issue is an article from Dr. David Glynne Fox on the very first Eagle Field Meet in the UK. What an exciting time for Austringers up and down the land – they don’t have to travel 100’s of miles overseas to have a good meet to fly their eagles. I hope there will be another one next year.

In the meantime, have a good read.
