Phillip Glasier
Phillip Edward Brougham Glasier (22 Dec 1915 – 11th Sept. 2000) was, during his life, Britain's leading expert on hawking and falconry. Glasier initiated a new interest in falconry in both the UK and the United States of America. He spent much of his life involved with the conservation and breeding of raptors and bringing them to public attention through the foundation of the Falconry Centre (now the International Centre for Birds of Prey), Newent, Gloucestershire, books, lectures and public demonstrations. He founded the Hawk Trust (now the Hawk and Owl Trust) and the Raptor Breeders' Association.〔( Daily Telegraph | )〕〔As The Falcon Her Bells, Phillip Glasier, Futura Publications Ltd., London. 1978, ISBN 0-7088-1331-3.〕
==Early life==
Glasier was born in Southfields in south-west London, where his father was a land agent, about 1920 the family moved to Kent and later to Suffolk where he spent his childhood. A great influence on his life at that time was a step-uncle, Captain Charles Knight, who was a respected ornithologist and falconer and he encouraged the young Glasier's interest in nature and wildlife. Charles Knight lived a short distance from Glasier's home outside Sevenoaks. As a child and teenager Glasier spent much time with his uncle learning about wildlife and in particular birds of prey. With his cousin, the actor Esmond Knight, he took part in a number of amateur films made by Charles Knight. Such was his skill at handling birds that when the uncle went away on an expedition he left his young nephew in charge of an African hawk-eagle.
On leaving school Glasier went to work in his father's land agency business.〔
