Hormonal hawk's reign of hairless terror finally over

The bird of prey repeatedly dive-bombed tall, bald men in Flamstead, forcing them to wear protective headgear to avoid injuries.

The hawk, identified as a male Harris’s hawk, was finally captured on Thursday in the garden of resident Steve Harris, who enlisted the help of falconer Alan Greenhalgh.
