Last weekend, a couple of Falconry competitions were held in Felanitx, more precisely in Son Valls, where champions were crowned in three categories, IX Campeonato de Halconería de Balears, V Campeonato de Sky Trial and II Campeonatos de Velocidad. Somehow I missed the event, what with the excitement of the Reyes and all, hence I had to borrow a photo from the Internet. To my surprise I then came across an announcement for another Falconry tournament coming up in Campos this coming weekend, the I Campeonato Mallorquin de Cetreria. That’s a lot of tournaments of Falconry. How exciting. I will try to not miss the forthcoming event in Campos, January 14th – 15th, at Finca Sa Barrala. I hope I will be able to find the venue.

The photo (top) was borrowed from the Internet, courtesy of ultimahora.es and the photographer, Gabriel Vicens. The photo (bottom) was taken in Campos, Mallorca, Baleares, Spain. The date: January 9th, 2012. The time was 13:14:20.

Muchas gracias.
