  1. Lucky Froglet. Found a four leaf clover and a little frog on the lawn so I put them together. Cheers Arry
  2. Some Bry and me got yesterday. Hedgehog mushrooms and Chanterelles Hedgehogs mushrooms we find this colour around here bit up near Dartmoor under Fir trees they are pure white. Notice the spikes on the under side. Hen Of The Woods look out for these they are excellent and my favourite mushroom. Cheers Arry
  3. Christ mate I just use a knife Lol, just joking. Only to welcome mate bring the pup if you like he would enjoy the walk. Cheers Arry
  4. Good solid job that mate. Cheers Arry
  5. Malt Paste, mate. I have found feeding small strips of meat by hand works very well. Cheers Arry
  6. Darren If you want mate you can come down again but this time for some foraging. If not get a book (river side cottage one is not bad,and Field Guide to edible Mushrooms by Peter Jordan is a really good book). Start with easy ones like giant puff ball nothing you can muddle that up with because of its size then move on to like Hedge Hog mushrooms which is good, it has spikes instead of gills. Slowly slowly and if your not sure don't eat it, Its a good year to start though as there is a lot around. Cheers Arry
  7. I've been so lucky with these two little kits. when I picked them up i said to the bloke christ mate you must have handled these a lot, he said "no i haven't had the time". Could not believe it there full of beans yet not so much as a nip. they seem to seek human contact come running up to you even the wife will handle them. Never had kits so easy. Cheers Arry
  8. Loads of Mackerel in Start bay at the moment. Had a few for a feed yesterday from Beesands but the beach was minging the mackerel driven sprat white bait up the shore. there were two line of them about half a meter wide the hole length of the beach cooking in the sun. Had a cracking Fisherman breakfast from the cafe down there. Cheers Arry
  9. 6.15 this morning the kits in the own box were going loopy, making a right din playing volley ball with there food bowl. Thought i'd better get out and sort them out as want to stay friendly with next doors. Anyway opened the lid they were springing about like some free running teenagers, one bounced from the floor (knee height)to the top of the front (waist height) then hit me in the square in the chest clinging on spread eagle like a sky diver. Fed them put them in the run made a cup of tea and just sat and watched. Cheers Arry
  10. Welcome mate, enjoy. Cheers Arry

  16. Thanks for the comments. Shame as I headed up there I was wondering who own it and if there was a chance of getting permission. Would have a loved permission on the high ground. Not to be though dead as a Dodo. Cheers Arry

  19. Aussie whip Warrener's used to farm rabbits and created these pillow mounds man made burrows kept drained to encourage them to breed. But the sheer amount of work needed to create them and the drainage ditches gob smacked me, they look like giant graves. I only looked around a few hundred yards and there were about twenty, the whole of Huntingdon Warren covers 600 hundred acres so i've no idea how many mounds there are. http://www.legendarydartmoor.co.uk/rabb_warr.htm have a look at this link, it will explain better than i could. Cheers Arry
  20. I could suffer a frenzied twenty odd, we don't get many of them. Lol Cheers Arry
  21. Been wanting to go and have a look a some Pillow Mound on Dartmoor. So walked up to the Avon Dam then on for a mile or two and there they were at least twenty of them and loads more all over the hill. Them old Warrener's did some graft about 6' high with a ditch all the way round ranging from 20' long to 50' long then drainage trenches that zig zag down the hill. There must have been thousands of rabbits on this hill at one time but now could not see any sign at all,I would love to ferret one of these that was active. Cheers Arry
  22. Never even painted my old box, But the hutch is done in Sadolin. Swear by it myself. Cheers Arry
