The Falconer

Continuing with this week’s wildlife/animal theme, here’s a nice video of Nigel Wassall, a falconer from the Isle Man, doing… falcon stuff… on the Isle of Man.

Here’s the blurb:

The Falconer follows Nigel Wassall, a falconer of 40 years, as he flies his beloved birds of prey on the beautiful landscapes of the Isle of Man. Filmed over a series of days at different locations, all together with his favourite piece of music Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.

This film of Nigel Wassall has been done by Brook Wassall, who you might remember from such posts as Sky Shot. Presumably, there’s some familial relationship there, but I have yet to discover what it is. Either way, you can see more of Brook’s work on his website (well worth a visit).
