If you find one of these is closing in on you, best of luck. But please call Jim. Image from Wikimedia commons.
I have no idea what to make of this – lost raptors are a new one for the blog, but never a dull moment – just has this report of a lost Harris Hawk in from Jim Mason of Burntwood:
Hi BrownhillsBob,
Just trying to alert everyone that a Harris hawk has been released into the wild, the bird has to be considered as dangerous and will attack people for food…
Released from Newgate street Burntwood… May now be over chasewater…
If seen I can call the bird down but without knowing where to start searching I am searching blind…
Been out since first light today and all day yesterday searching…
I did see the bird from a distance but unable to get close enough to retrieve him…
If seen please call me on
07934 249993
Regards
Jim
For once, I recommend wearing a bike helmet at Chasewater. Take care.
