Falconry: Uniting the World

Falconry: United the world

 

Welcome to Abu Dhabi, where falconers from all across the world met at the International Festival of Falconry.

Please join Paul Beecroft and his good friend, Peter Devers from the U.S., on a brief tour of the grounds. They’d like to introduce you to some of their new and dear friends, both human and feathered, starting with the beautiful bald eagle (above) and three falcons (below).
