OUR JOURNEY
Where did my interest in birds start.
​
You could it started when I was a child growing up, in Highley with my late father Anthony Dudley Crossman (Tony or Tonk to his friends, was an avid member of the B.T.O and a registered bird ringer.
​
I spent endless hours with him, catching birds in the mist nets and checking 100's of bird boxes that we installed throughout the Wyre Forest and Far Forest.
​
Spending weekend after weekend sleeping in a car, in the Welsh mountains looking for Wheater Nests in order to ring them and monitor their migration.
My introduction to falconry​
Well, it all started when I returned home from Scotland after two seasons of Deer control.
​
I was at Weston Park Gamefair with two very good friends, Barry. H and Barnaby. B. After some drinking time, Barnaby.B (who was already very knowledgable about Falconry) said that I should get a hawk - so that season, I got a hawk. In no time, I was catching fur and this resulted in getting a position with a pest control company for a couple of seasons, flying both hawks and falcons.
The Business
As a falconer you need equipment and we had one, right on our front door - Falconry Fayre, owned by the late Roy Wellings and his son.
​
Eventually, Roy decided to retire, I purchased Falconry Fayre and from this, UB Falconry UK was born and has now been established for over a decade.
