This little fella came to me as a wild rehab job, my god we had some fun, he is a male sparrowhawk, known in the game as a musket, we call them pocket rockets, he was a downy when he came as he had been stolen from a nest, so I had to rear him without imprinting him on humans, good job I'm also a taxidermist as this ability came in very handy for the job, once he was trained to hunt he was set free at wild hack and stayed in contact with me for over six months,
Heres my lab (Meg) flushing a pheasant that we would have walked past, a good dog can bring ten times more slips

Molly and Meg in training, This pic so needs a caption
This has been one of the most fascinating threads I've read for sometime - more please!
Thanks, to be honest i have been overwhelmed at the response to the thread, I thought I might get shot down for it,
This is another rehab bird that I released back to the wild, she was brought to me as a youngster and trained to hunt before she was put at hack, took about 3 months before she stopped coming for food, this is her very first kill, she was hovering over the garden and stooped to where I keep chickens, I ran down and she had nailed a young rat, I was over the moon that all the training had come together.
@Sean d I hope you don't mind me sharing a few pics of my dog Fred, a council estate special, 
, lurcher and the best £50 I ever spent. I'm not a hunter and I've never been into field sports other than air rifle shooting.
He's 10yrs old now and nowhere as near as fast as he used to be but he used to catch rabbits for fun when he was younger. He's still in great condition though, no fat on him at all.

Bet you nicked that rabbit out of a neighbours garden and just plonked it in front of the dog for the photo.....

Few planks on this site, but I'm not one of them!
This is a male Red tail buzzard that I had the pleasure to fly, they have a lot more power and aggression then a Harris but lack in the brains of the Harris
