They have introduced them to an area of the Avon gorge near me, apparently there grazing is beneficial to some of the rare plant life that lives there, in the last year two of them have been chased off the cliffs followed by some stupid pet dog from Clifton sadly they are all billy,s so unless some naughty person chucks a female in there it's a very controlled experiment

I hate waste and love goat meat so for me that's a double sickener, the only thing I intentionally kill without putting in a pot are rats and magpies, it's a respect thing plus I could of shifted that lot in minutes to the Jamaicans and Indians in Bristol even if they were used as dog food and skinned it's better than that, plus the damage things like that do if some veggie hill walkers came across it, sad how many people with that kind of mindset get granted a ticket when perfectly normal sane people like myself will never be granted one ???

The swifts have just arrived on-masse they are twenty days late according to my diary,s it's better than telly watching them swooping between the houses ??

The one in the film is shining like foil in the early morning sun, it's just at a bad angle but you will certainly see the sheen on it and I agree with you about how good trail cameras are but they don't last long if they are out for 365 days a year, when I swap my cards I usually have at least one camera that's malfunctioned,spiderwebs and foliage will disable another it's also a lot of work and many people don't keep it up for long I bet there are more cameras out there with flat battery,s than functioning ones but I do think it will happen soon ?

Hopefully a film made by a member of our group will be available soon and in that there is a guy in Dorset (I think) who saw something he thought was a big cat,he went out and bought a trail camera put it up in the location and has got a crystal clear picture, unfortunetely the cat is walking away from the camera and is black so what you see is the back end of a powerful looking black animal, it's got to be at the right angle travelling in the right direction and in the right light, I,ve also seen plenty of wild animals avoid trail cameras, it seems the longer you can leave them the better bu

That story is total bollacks and just a cheap advert for someone trying to sell dogs, come on ffs
-
A cat will normally attack a human like that if its young and dumb or old and poorly so may well have something wrong with it, there are also a few escaped or released pet puma,s out there that would act out of character as well not everything is as it first seems
-
I run quite a few trail cameras all year round and even animals that are native to England can more often than not leave you with shit pictures out of ten pictures of deer you might get one that's any good, I got 10 wild polecats last year, I can see what they are and ID them by going through the film frame by frame but if I just put them up as they are you would be lucky to identify one so when your trying to catch something as rare and elusive as a big cat it's ten times harder, Chris Jones on here lives in America, no one would deny he has bobcats and puma near his home but can he produce a

Very likely it's a good area, fordingbridge seems very active at the moment if that's near by ?
-
Sadly it's an undernourished mastiff on very poor quality footage, I also can't get it to work but others I no have and have been able to pick out a collar on the animal ??

Should,nt you call them rainbow hounds in this modern world of love we live in ?
-
It's a lot easier tracking fat backward folk that stick there neighbours number plates in there posts than Wiley beasts, so let's hope I don't come out of your wardrobe ?

Does anyone look at this kind of shite before posting it, there is,nt a sausage dog there and one of the dead dogs looks more like a young German Shepard, more sensational journalism based on bullshit,

And I,m normally gone through a hole in the hedge and halfway down the field before they get out from the car?

For some reason the dam buster thing seems to pop up at intervals throughout my life, when I left school I worked in a very large strange place on the outskirts of Bristol near temple cloud, turned out it was an underground bomb factory from the war, it looked like a lake from the sky but was a hollowed out hill with a blue roof so it never got bombed, the guy that invented the bouncing bomb lived in a house across the road and I was told this was were all the magic happened, then in the 80,s when I was incarcerated on the island of Portland I watched military helicopters lifting massive woode

I've got one at last .......

I never thought of mine as an antique, not a challenger but a standard Mercury with my own touch,s do have an AA pcp but still use the Mercury more as it feels more alive and is a lovely sized gun, I thought the airsporter was just an under leaver version of a Mercury hence all the similarity,s ? -
There are less this year I follow the swifts quite closely as they nest in my roof and reports all along there migration route say that less than normal have arrived this year swollows and martins seem the same, hope it's just a natural low I feel quite sorry for the odd swift that's made it, I normally have dozens whizzing round the house two or three so far this year ?

I could mate but it's only to take the chill off the smoking shack and it's nice it goes straight out as soon as the door is closed, I dare say as burning season gets going it will have a few more mods but as it is it's pretty good for what I need at the mo ?

You don't want to admit that online once your over a certain age, they will have you on a register ?

A packet of mint imperials sat in the back of the cinema shooting at the characters on screen was one of our fun things to do as youngsters, your boys sound like proper kids mate, just get them some weaker elastic so no one looses an eye and let them crack on, much better than a PlayStation ??

Little update on project woodburner, have chopped up a large road sign and made a hearth stuck half a dozen boiler flues together and fired the beast up been burning for a few days, rivets seem to be doing ok although I did replace a few in less accessible places but looked at a few cheap commercial models that use rivets for door hinges etc, there is no adjustable air draft, if the door is open it burns a treat if the door is shut it goes straight out so for the princely sum of a fiver I won't have to freeze my nads off in the smoking shed every winter

Recon he,s hit his typing finger ??

That does look just like it plus the foliage around is not dissimilar, looks like me and the dogs had a lucky miss with that one, cheers ?
-
I,guess like most creatures he will be a thing of habit so when I return I will tie the dogs up before I reach the spot and try to sneak up unnoticed and get a picture, I have a video somewhere on a hi8 tape of one I caught years ago (grass snake) but he,s stood right up spitting like a proper snake have also had some foul smelling shit sprayed on me by a grass snake it was a milky substance that no amount of washing seemed to shift and I stunk for days after, I,m still leaning toward adder as most grass snakes I find are close to or on water were as this thing was in a more heathland envirom

I just did mate and now you,ve confused me even more
