Discover his experience below as well as in his press article available here.
This is an outing proposed by the tourist office which aroused great interest on Saturday morning. Thirty-four people descended into the Bilhard gorges, and did not take their eyes off Onyx, Harris's buzzard brought by the falconer from Rochebaron. To see it land on his hand or his cap is unforgettable."
“Hey! hey! » Nicolas Nespoulous, the falconer of the Château de Rochebaron calls his Harris buzzard.
As long as the bite of meat he promises her is big enough, here is Onyx who, from one bank to the other of the Piat, comes to rest on the leather glove.
Falconry, a centuries-old art
The show was appreciated at its fair value, this summer Saturday morning in the Gorges de Bilhard by more than thirty people, who were able to pass the glove one after the other, and see the raptor land.
While Jean-Pierre Cizeron, a fishing and nature enthusiast, resituates the context of this site, a few strides from the College of Monteil, and the legend relating to it, the falconer, Nicolas Nespoulous informs his public of the day, on what the centuries-old art of falconry is.
