Base of fingers to elbow should be approximately 17 inches. Handy to know when measuring up carry on luggage.

bit new here - but wanted to share
a few days ago I was cycling (OK ebike but I got asthma and I'm getting older so whatever) along and rode past someone carrying something in a strange way
anyway - it was a dead end so I turned round and passed him again
no wonder he was carrying it a bit strange - it was a damn great falcon
so naturally I stopped and asked him about it
the guy was seriously rough - the sort of outdoor clothes that can stop a tropical storm - worn to Hell and back but still up for it
and an accent that could grind down diamonds
but we have people like that round here
anyway - really nice bloke (for the sake of $deity don;t try to fight him - he would break you - you know type - wiry vicious) and apparently it is a Gyr falcon and they was just off after some Pheasant
and he clearly knew exactly how to look after the bird - and cared for her - probably more than his wife - and she accepts that
had a nice little chat about her - the falcon - not the wife
wish I had had the guts to ask him if I could tag along and watch
this retirement with a bike has a lot to recommend it - I have seen a few birds of prey along the cnals and paths around there
and a bigger grey hawk like thing along a different route

Stop apologising for having an ebike. You don't have to justify yourself to anyone.
Nice story
Reminds me of a time during my running days when my Saturday run would take me through some local woods and along a causeway between two lakes. It was one of those early mornings when a mist hugs the water and everything is still. As I crossed the causeway I thought that all the scene needed was the lady of the lake to pierce the mist with a sword and as I had that thought a chap with an arm guard and a falcon perched thereon appeared from the opposite direction. He was probably after rabbits as there was a large warren at the edge of the woods.
I didn't speak as I felt the whole scene was magical and didn't want to break the spell
