Harris Hawk for Pest Control

[Columbarius]

I was in a local Girls' School on Monday (no sniggering at the back there!) and as I was making my way back to the car I noticed this guy with a young Harris Hawk. He is a professional pest controller, and uses his birds to drive the Canada Geese from the playing fields so that the young ladies don't need to play amongst goose droppings.

He agreed to a couple of pics. WDYT?

They are used quite a lot for pest control. Good interaction between the two of them

Very nice to see, when I was working we had avian pest control on site quite frequently great to see the hawks working
