Andy Hughes is a lifelong falconer who started, as a boy, with a tawny owl in his bedroom and an injured kestrel he rehabilitated before releasing.

He went on to spend decades hunting and flying everything from merlins to golden eagles, working closely with dogs throughout, including many years as a professional falconer at Skibo and Dunrobin Castles.

Much of that time was spent in the Highlands alongside the late Stephen Frank, at the heart of grouse hawking over pointers — widely regarded as the pinnacle of the sport.

This is a conversation about falconry, fieldcraft, dogs, and what it takes to make it all come together.
