Whilst i think about it I can offer Phil for 25th May as I'm back in the UK on the 24th

He'll be at Frome. The distance he flies is mentioned ealier in the thread - something like 120-837 I think (please check though)
That will be fine Mike, i will make a note, thank you.

Re: Hawks / peregrine lost birds

If you give an honest breakdown of why birds are lost on races or training, i am sure bad management of the birds will come out on top.
