Falconry, the pursuit of game with trained birds of prey, has fascinated man for over four millennia. For 1200 years it was known as the "sport of kings", before its decline in the 18th century.
Falconry is both an art and a science.
It survives today as a field sport and has become a valuable tool in the restoration of endangered species.
