Mark Hardcastle, Falconer to Sheik Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum at Shadwell Falcons UK.

Update: 2024-10-27

Description

"Intangible Cultural Heritage," falconry is as ancient as the History of Mankind.
'Mews' property, 'hoodwinking,' and 'haggard,' are all words with a rich cultural past.
Mark and fellow falconers preserve and protect some magnificent birds of prey whilst giving them a role to live as they should in the natural world.

The following podcast from the BBC's World Service was fascinating background to Mark's story.
