Alan Gates and Chinese falconer

Mr.Ma was head of his family, he had been a falconer from a boy and his sons also were all keen falconers. He directed the proceedings of the days hunting like a general and had everyone instructed in their role as to how we would beat the hills and surrounding fields.

This picture was taken at the start of the day just after we arrived, the hills behind us is where we would end up, but at this point I was not quite aware of this.
