RIYADH: A British architect who is fairly new to falconry is showing off his birds at the International Falcon Breeders Auction for the first time.

The event, being hosted by the Saudi Falcons Club from Aug. 5-24 at its headquarters in Malham, north of Riyadh, features many stories of the impact falcons have had on people's lives.

Kelly Evans, owner of Shadow Falcons, is one of those who has discovered the joy of falconry, reported the Saudi Press Agency. 

After previously working in architectural construction, he set up his own farm and started breeding falcons eight years ago.

Evans said he was delighted to take part in the auction and show off 13 of his falcons at the event for the first time. He praised the high level of organization and extensive facilities provided by the Saudi Falcons Club.

The International Falcon Breeders Auction  is the largest event of its kind globally, featuring more than 35 leading falconry farms from 16 countries.
