I've added a photo of Lady Macbeth in which the telemetry she now wears can be seen. Over the past 4 months, she's twice  been out overnight as a result of my not being able to find her after she caught a pheasant. Obviously, she's more interested in eating that, than coming back to me.  Usually, the bell she wears is enough to help locate her but I decided I couldn't take the chance any more and invested in a tail mount for her, so that I could use the telemetry I already had for Artemis the sparrowhawk.  In the picture above, you can see the transmitter which is secured to her tail by a crimped-on metal grip. It's tiny, smaller than a UK five-penny piece, and carries a thin, six inch long aerial.

I did attach it to her anklet, but she ate the aerial, or at least, tore it apart. I suppose it was getting in her way a bit. She's quite happy with the present arrangement and I think she doesn't even know it's there.

We've just come back from a hawk walk. It's a cold windy day on Exmoor and the breeze helped Cassius and her Laydyship show off their flying skills nicely.

I also took out Artemis, not to fly, but to let people get close and examine her in a way they're unlikely to be able to do anywhere else. The above close-up doesn't give an idea of her size .She  weighs  222grammes when she is at flying weight, and she measures about six inches from her head to the base of her tail, which should be about four inches long.  See previous posts to learn why it isn't.
