A beginning.

This is somthing that Ive been thinking about for a long time, having run a blog before & letting it lapse completely, to the point where it wasn't worth continuing.

I have somthing that I want to achieve, I'm not realy going to share it at the moment, but if things run how I want them to, then it will become apparent during the following blog.

I won't be updating everyday, maybe not every week, as this is a very long term goal, but updates will be forthcoming as and when somthing happens.

I'll try & keep this as positive as I can throughout, but like everything in life shit happens & being positive & happy 100% of the time isn't physically possible, I'll just tell it like it is.

Currently I'm training a 2012 eyas goshawk, and a 2012 eyas Harris' Hawk, the goshawk has been a hard nut to crack, and I don't mind admitting that I've nearly chucked the towel in with her a couple of times, already. The Harris' on the other hand is a sweety, and if I'd put the effort into him that I have with the goshawk then he'd have been free & entered by now, without a shadow of a doubt.

Anyway, these two along with Lady Hesters father are the start of everything, so atleast I have a begining, and somwhere to work from, it's the getting to that will be the hard part.

If you read this & follow I hope that you enjoy my thoughts, & the ups & downs that get me to journeys end.

All the best for now Matthew.
