Back when the little blue pills first came on the scene an old school mate of mine was doing alright flogging them on the black market, his biggest customer was the old people’s home at the end of our estate, which he would regularly remind my other mate who,s mum was in the home ????

Being a vegan is also not great for the planet, there are far more insects and birds and everything upwards in the food chain on farms that rear livestock than cereal, if we all ate cereal, fields would get bigger with less hedgerow and more insecticide would be used so it’s not really the big solution just another fad for divs to jump on ???

It’s a growing obsession mate, I started with one camera in 2015 as a gift, taking pics of a fox in my garden, now I spend half my time running round swapping battery,s and SD cards and liaising with biologists, farmers and keepers, I,m looking for a big predator so finding routes used by its dinner is a good start ???? -
Wow nice one, looks more like a domestic just by being a different colour cheers ?

Maccy, D,s now joining the vegan/veg bandwagon as well, the brainwashing is as good as complete, ??????

I,ve been to meet a few off of here, feck all wrong with me or them, or am I entering a modern virtual reality parallel universe type of thing and should just shut up as I,m to old and don’t no what I,m talking about, ???

I bury a few bits and bobs that I need to clean and just let nature do the work, a couple of month,s in the ground normally see,s it cleaned, used to put birds eggs in ants nest instead of blowing them as you only needed one small hole ?

It’s 45 mins by plane why waste a day on a boat, you were lucky with the weather it’s always fecking freezing when I,ve been, next visit definitely between June and August, I stayed in the bulldog cafe on Lieberman square for my 50th birthday very messy, my older sister actually collapsed in the bulldog on day one, getting old disgracefully brilliant?

We used to dip old lady, s underwater to see if they would drown or not as a way of finding out if they were witch,s, very civilised, but we have moved on and developed as will the rest of the world, walk a mile in a mans shoes before condemning him

Caught a bloke wanking over a car in a lay-by Year’s back, flicked the lamp round the lay-by young couple shagging in a car and dirty old perv leaning over the boot tugging one off, not wildlife as we no it but still a strange thing to witness????

When you live in poverty compassion goes out the window, 15,000 pigs at 50p a bullet simple maths, plus they will probably struggle to feed themselves for the next year as a result of there loss, we as a nation rolled across the world wiping out tribes of people for not converting to Christianity and made entire species extinct to feed ourselves on our travels, funny how we all forget were we came from,

Obviously for me seeing a black leopard in the wild in Dorset had a pretty big impact on my life, but I,ve also seen a lot of other weird and wonderful things top of the list was a lamaguire vulture flying over my house on two consecutive evenings 9ft windspan looked pretty impressive

Back when it was Legal for a dog to chase a hare, we used to regularly flush hares out of land drains on the moors near me, they were about 9” round clay pipes that carried water under a track were small ditch,s discharge into the main drain,if the ditch,s were dry the hares would shelter in the pipes, you could push one or two out most days by running a terrier through ?

My cat catch,s frogs around the pond in the evening from time to time and the noise is mental, sounds like ET Screaming,total surprise the first time it happened
-
Had the same thing happen to me last summer in the middle of the day, dogs on leads going potty for it and it just kept running up to me then around in a big circle and another run at me, I assumed there must be a fawn in the long grass nearby ?

Get balaclavad up and do the dude in the x5 A he,s gangsta so won’t go to the police and B he,s carrying a lot of unaccountable dollar ??

The size of there territory,s is governed by suitable land females and population density, a male will travel massive distances each year were as a female will have a much smaller one and the male,s will overlap several females, a lot of information has came from trapped and tracked cats in other country,s and one known cat in the states has a territory of 400 square miles, they don’t stay still for long or they would exhaust food in an area, as we have a very low population territory,s are likely to be even bigger, the vets have confirmed several attacks to the animals owners before they have

Seized I believe when it was discovered I would suggest it had not been in the wild for long hence it was attacking pheasant pens, this poor lynx was blamed for around 7 sheep kills, it’s a captive bred animal never been in the wild it was free for around a week were as wild lynx average 0.4 sheep per year

Plot watchers mate time lapse cameras, type it into YouTube pretty impressive field of view and good battery life ? -
Stomach contents and dna will go along way to help but I no what you mean,I think the pelt you may be referring to was a rug and there were eggs of an insect found in Africa found within the fur which confirmed its country of origin my sole aim is a clear picture at the moment, but if things develop I,d love to attempt to trap one, this dude was a poor man living on the Russia/China border who decided to poach a tiger to raise a few quid to feed his family unfortunately the tiger had other plans

I believe there was a family of leopards living under a football stadium somewhere, think Johannesburg but not a 100 percent, anyway they were living in the centre of a town totally unnoticed by the residents and when they were found there were apparently the remains of over a hundred dogs that they had been feeding on, massively elusive predators ??

I have all different ones from Brownings down to the cheap Chinese ones but it happens on them all, it’s not that the cameras go off but often things that trigger them are moving to fast to be captured, or they are to small and not what you want so birds flying past will trigger but are usually gone by the time the pictures taking likewise moths bats or leaves, I also run my cameras on video which trigggers slower than stills though some of the newer Chinese ones do a photo followed by a video, it’s much easier to see your subject when it’s moving I think and if I,m ever lucky enough to get a -
The density of the populations in places like India are pretty high there is one quite well known area aarey with a known population of 41 leopards in just over 1300 acres of land, I,m looking for one or two in areas at least twice that size, and though many people doubt it the things I,m finding indicate to me they are moving closer to the city,s in England and pets are becoming more regularly taken, we do have vet confirmed killings of dogs and a few good horse attacks also confirmed by vets, normally a sign of a young inexperienced animal as the horse is much to big to be taken but they do

Here you go mate, not just any tits but great tits ???
