    Extractions: John van Voorst, London. PDF Page images. PREFACE. THE Knight no longer rides out with hawk on fist, and falconers, and cages, and greyhounds behind, to chase the swift curlew, or to strike down the soaring heron. In these piping days of peace and civilization "The pointer ranges, and the said Knight beats In russet jacket," his broad acres, well stocked with barn-door partridges, or,-if an ambitious man, he gets up a. pheasant-battue for greater excitement. And the knight's lady, instead of mounting her fiery jennet, with merlin clasping her embroidered glove, thinks a drive round Hyde Park, or a canter down Rotten Row, quite sufficient exercise in these times for her highly nervous and thoroughly civilized constitution. "A handful is a sample of a heap," say the Persians. This specimen of a change in the Knight's and his Lady's habits is a fair measure of the difference between the days of our ancestors and our own. So Falconry can scarcely be considered a popular subject now. Yet there are many gentlemen in England who would willingly see the good old sport conjured up from its black letter sepulture. They love the look of the thing, the pomp of its apparatus, the excitement of witnessing the combined working of horses, hawks and hounds; and above all things, the pleasing novelty of the ancient diversion. I only wonder that the taste is not a more general one amongst us. In the Netherlands we see a better example-royalty itself not disdaining at times to exchange the sceptre for the glove.

    Extractions: See a demonstration of falconry and learn about our local birds of prey, the ancient art of falconry form Sky Hunters in Flight on the South Lawn. Don't miss their flying demonstrations at 1 and 2:30 on the Tournament Field! Presented by Smantha Lally and Michelle Churchill of Prudential Douglas Eilliman Real Estate. Hawks soaring jover head are quite common this time of year during the annual raptor migration that is taking place right over your head. An excellent viewing point is the northern end of the Heather Garden There is no hard evidence as to exactly when and where man first trained a bird of prey, but the art of falconry was already well established in the Middle and Far East by 2000 BC. It is likely that the Romans were taught falconry from the Greeks and, although the practice does not appear to have become overly popular, there are references to Caesar using falcons to destroy pigeons carrying messages. In more recent history, falconry has enjoyed a more widespread and consistent popularity, not least as a sport of kings. It was reputedly the favorite sport of every King of England between Alfred the Great and George III, except perhaps for James 1 (1602-25) who, although a practiced falconer himself, apparently spent much of his time experimenting with cormorants and ospreys to catch fish. Much has been written of King John's passion for crane hawking (for which he flew a cast of gyrs given to him by the King of Norway) and he often brought hunting parties here to the Test Valley to fly falcons at herons. It was due to the practice of ringing these birds before they were re-released, and therefore the accumulation of information about their numbers and locations, that the Test Valley heronries are documented in the Domesday Book.
