Looking for a falcon......!

Maybe Sam Spade has caught him already

Oh, how clever!

I hadn't got that roses!

Is it a Malteser Falcon? If so, you might have to resurrect Bogie!

I'd wondered about the towel and the pet carrier method but think a phone call to SSPCA or RSPB might be safer!

I loved it too Grannyknot
Call the experts if falcon seen, waste of Maltesers and I don't think bird seed would work!

I would probably phone the SSPCA and report the sighting. Don't think I would attempt anything to have it come near me.

Exactly, what would you do if the falcon descended on you, and anyway it was just any old falcon not the lost one!Throw a towel over it and wrestle it to the ground?

They have scary talons though...what would you do once you'd lured it?

Or a big box of Maltesers perhaps.

Drat the link didn't work. And the book is called "H is for Hawk". Anyway here it is again:

He-hee Elegran, I could be lured with a nice bit of steak too.

kate I'm reading is for Hawk by Helen McDonald at the moment and loving it. I thought you wanted to take up falconry

Can't help with luring advice, sorry!

I am sure it could be lured with little bits of steak. Well, I could, though I'd prefer them cooked (well done, please)
