In the camp next to us at Al Khor, there was a man who walked over to his Toyota Landcruiser and took out a 2x4 that had 4 perches on it, each with a falcon. These were then set down under a canopy. Stuart and I went to investigate. He didn't speak any English, but was happy to entertain our curiosity...
As we were leaving and this camp had more men gathered, I noticed many of them sitting around with their falcons. I'm not sure what they do with them, but it seemed to be the thing to have.
