    i think greymans talking about soaring on thermals, not hovering but I could be wrong I don't think they could hover for long on there own steam but with the thermals rising they can hover for a reasonable length of time just like kestrel,s, but as folk have said they are generally lazy scavenger,s there are 27 pairs in the valley and most of them seem to be either on the fresh plough getting worms or in with the sheep eating afterbirth at the moment they are a very opportunistic raptor as apposed to a specialist like the perigrine,s and the like, I have seen hobby,s and goshawk on my beat wit
  3. not taking the piss but here is a swan from my big cat bible for comparison, you can read the caption with the pic rather than me try and explain, I,ll leave the rest to you to decide

    In the area I set my cameras out in, there is a massive expanse of flat land surrounded by steep cliffs and rock faces, the buzzards just sit there hovering on the rising thermals as the warm wind comes straight across the flat then rises up the cliff face, it requires little to know effort and yes they can stay there for ages hovering like a kestrel, in hot weather the Tarmac on the motorways gets so hot that it also sends heat thermals up in a straight line which is why they always seem to be hanging along the motorway during the summer

  6. My Mrs watches it so if I'm in the living room I catch some of it . The whole panel has a distinct lack of talent . David walliams is another celebrity I don't understand the countries infatuation with got a say if ever a celebrity had me reaching for the remote it's David f***ing walliams he makes me sick with his fake am I gay or not routine and his constant pervie little innuendo,s, I got nothing against gays or any other group but if your gay just be gay and drop all the fannying around routine, sorry I feel better now
  7. Stick a burka on your kid no one will dare say anything,
  8. koi are just a normal carp with a fancy coat on, carp live in filthy water and tolerate lower level,s of oxygen than most freshwater fish,s, so when a spotty teenager in a garden centre tells you you need the all singing super deluxe only available from me koi pump it's just a sales pitch the only reason koi keepers like there ponds crystal clear is so they can see the fish, the fish would be happier with a bit of colour in the water if they could speak, so don't panic to much
  9. My daughter reported him to PayPal over the same shit,ordered a catty for me as a chrimbo present failed to show did,nt even respond when she reported him to PayPal,he had a great business model, but sadly he can't see what a mess of it he,s making, about the only place he goes on is Facebook because he can edit out the bad press people give him.if you want the real deal go to pocket predator and get one of bill Hayes catty,s John Webb only copied his idea,s anyway, he,s only really interested in the ply catty,s as they cost 20p to make and sell for £20 greedy fat scammer
  10. yes but he has got the full box set of Rambo
  11. It'd take some pretty big bollocks to try that - even if you did know which was which a friend of mine goes on some pretty epic canoeing trips and on one of his adventures to Canada he was told to stand his ground and be as tall as possible, he was also given a large can of bear spray for if that failed and told not to turn his back on it, but he said when a mother with Cubs came out the woods stood up like that and ran towards him, he took one look at the aerosol can in his hand one look at the charging bear and ran like feck screaming to his mate to get going in the canoe and just managed t

    I catch a few people on my cams being in weird places they should not be the pics are a lot clearer when I view them on the laptop it s just I can't load them on to my iPad and the laptop is not connected to the Internet so I have to take a photo of a video on another screen and that is were the quality is lost, your comment regarding the mud may hold some water if I never had lots of pictures of the site the image was taken from and there is nothing there as I have said the scene has been examined closely and photos taken from all angles the animal in the picture is four feet long and two fee

    sorry my reply is going to be even slower than normal as I took a fall down a bit of a canyon yesterday changing my sd cards and dislocated my shoulder, all good but fecking painful, if you look up Clare baldings programme on the radio, I think it's called rambling.s she actually encounters one when she is live on air in the Forest of Dean you only have to look at the last couple of pages were beast put up a picture taken in a zoo and he still got mocked and doubted, some bloke put an account up a few pages back were he saw one and then went back and took photos of a perfect big cat paw print

    I do watch a lot of the American trail cam footage and have seen them used I,ve seen old cd,s and bunch,s of feathers used, my main problem is trying not to attract attention to my cameras, i have cameras in large gardens of private homes national trust property and some others that are to close to public path,s I will make some up and when I find a safe area will give it a go,the guy in Colorado is at the mountain lion conference and they have got electric cat calls that fit to your camera, trouble is for me again is attracting attention to my cameras like I said the odds are stacked against

    I must admit I do crave a really good clear picture and I am pretty sure I will get one hopefully in the not to distant future, but as I get linked in to all these small reports and people sending me pictures etc I just see to much evidence to doubt it, I think though I,m relatively new to it in comparison to a lot of people my one big advantage over them is I am a picture poacher and go were I need to go to put my cameras, were as everyone else I have met due to there situations have to go about it in a much more law abiding way and seek permission before they can put up cameras, another thin

    I don't think it's possible to draw comparisons with country,s were animals are common, the photo of the elks hip bone was found by a friend of mine who has been in Colorado for a couple of weeks in England I know of eight sets of tooth pits that have been found in over a year, in the area I have been searching in i find signs of activity every couple of years, I,m also doing quite a bit of trespassing so not really possible to run houds around or set traps, I accept its a needle in a haystack but reports in small local news papers keep on coming week after week, as a man that's seen big cats

    Lynx walshie Didn't read that. Close. when you say close does that mean we are to close this topic and stop posting pictures on the subject like this one taken in the Forest of Dean, before the experts come and say get a better camera,this photo is unfortunately what happens during dawn and dusk when the ir filter is still on but there is enough light in the sky,but I think most can see what it is if they want to Head looks tiny in relation to body agree with you on that I don't no much about this picture, I get sent quite a few some with info some without, this picture appeared in a survey

    Here is a good little pic a friend has just sent back from Colorado it's the tooth pits I spoke of before, if anyone finds one of these I would be really grateful of a photo and a location and if your feeling really helpful you could send me the bone this was a small elk,s pelvis bone that had been killed and eaten by a puma, it's the three holes on the shoe, the cutting teeth of a cat will plug in to it just like a plug in a socket,b
  22. Spent hours drop trapping as a kid, with patience you could catch anything. shopping basket from the coop a stick and a spool of line even had the odd squirrel in it, I actually made one last year with a figure of four trigger and a bait stick caught a collard dove in it just to see if I still had it, let it go as soon as I caught it and it,s now nesting in the tree so obviously not that stressful for him, happy memory's of a much less complex time of life
