Ahmed and his falcon

We were out in the desert on a photoshoot today and stopped at a camel farm. While we were taking pics of the camels, the owner, Ahmed, came up and started chatting to us. He told us that these camels were used for producing milk... which led on to us having a taste of camel milk... not unlike cow's milk only NO fat in it. He also asked us if we would like to see his falcons. He has 4 falcons that he uses for hunting (although not here in Bahrain, he travels to Russia and hunts gazelle....) and this is a pic of Nahid having her turn at holding a falcon...note the glove...those claws are sharp.
