I can't believe it's me 13yo lad when the documentary was filmed now approaching 65yo seems like yesterday!. I remember being picked up from school for filming, cream tea.If only I had not stepped on the branch. !! I was allowed to keep the rifle after the film was finished it was a good rifle Webley .22. My children and grandchildren didn't know that there is a filmstar in the family ,they didn't believe me until my son found it on RU-vid. Thanks for posting.

A great film preserved in time by RU-vid.. thank you

The script was written by my somewhat eccentric brother (Anthony Short) who, alas, is no longer with us. I met David Cobham but it all seems a long time ago. I remember the film gained much acclaim

Such a majestic creature, i catch a glimpse of one in a woodland near me.

I like when he points at the fleeing rabbit & shouts 'GOS' as if the Goshawk needed that!!. The Goshawk would of seen it long before he knew it was there!. I have trained & flown Goshawks & a lot more Sparrowhawks. Both birds when they are hunting are ten steps in front of us.

This was just awesome a trip down memory lane.Its such a shame time marches on and changes what we love.Very well done lovely video to share thank you.

Lovely film. The goshawk itself is very nicely filmed. Someone obviously knew about hawking and respected the book.

Love this. That soundtrack takes me back.

What a great film, great to see old technique's and equipment but also the similarity's of how things are done now. Fantistic!!

Thank you for uploading your film. I read T.H. White's book years back and love this story of a v. special partnership.

Great watch thanks for the upload

Beautiful old movie!

Thank you very much for posting, i watched this film when i was a boy and read t h whites book and was enchanted by both.

This was mentioned on my channel so I came here to watch it. A lovely old film with some great old style of filming and documentary. Thanks for sharing.

I first watched this when I was 15 years of age and have never forgot it. Superb!

Great film!! Holds true to the book.

Found this after reading Helen Macdonald's book H is for Hawk, fascinating read and a great Book, will watch this film with interest and a little insight...

Thank you!

hi this film is one that stuck in my mine as a child my father was a falconer and I remember him telling me about film on tv that evening and we watched it in black and white I had no idea what film was called as it was so long ago but remember part in film where he was shooting pigeon for Goss and said I must not miss it its food for goss I thought the bird was called guss and called my first gisshaw guss many thanks for posting video it brought back many happy memories for me with my father john Evans anglesey hawking centere

Fantastic great video explains all about hawking

GREAT CLASSIC FILM

What a wonderful man

Fantastic

Was this, like a Play for Today sort of thing? Over here in the States we have "Special Presentation" or "Thursday Night Movie", that sort of thing. Something like this wouldn't just run without some kind of umbrella series.

Saw a Gos a few hours ago , came here to confirm it as I wasn't sure . Derbyshire U.K.

Three days and nights? Unless that hawk is wearing nappies, his Persian carpet must be a mess!

The important thing in this video is the lesson that shows us as a legacy. How human stupidity and egocentrism teaches us that the real teacher and coach was the hawk who, through time and perseverance, took away the arrogance and foolishness of the pretentious falconer.

he was

gos gos was different

Donde se puede ver en castellano

i want to know if goshawk is better than falcon or what,bcuz it looks like goshawk is a great killer hunter machine if it so then why Falcons are bought on a high price in Arab and all over the World,why do Arab prefers Falcons more than Goshawk ,what is the reason behind it please someone tell me i will be highly thankful

Is this supposed to be h is for HAWK? Don't think so. Where is this Nature show?
