Autorenporträt

Roger Upton has been an enthusiastic falconer since the early 1950s. He first traveled to the Middle East in the 1960s, having entertained Sheikh Saeed bin Shahkbut al Nahayan and his brother Sultan to a day's partridge hawking with his peregrines on the lovely open downland above the author's home in Wiltshire, England. The following spring the Roger was invited to join Sheikh Saeed hawking on the sands of Abu Dhabi. Since then the author has traveled the countries, towns and deserts of Arabia and beyond in search of falcons, falconers and the sport both they and he love so well.
