Five years ago, British falconer Scott Mason settled in Nepal to live with birds of prey. Local farmers bring to Scott abandoned chicks, which he then rears and teaches to fly - and he flies with them in his paraglider.
First in the world, he has pioneered the art of parahawking... combining his falconry and paragliding skills, to fly with his birds in the air, and literally understand what it is to be a hawk... as they explore the Himalayan skies together, in the most extreme relationship of man and bird.
