[greenfinches]

Still get greenfinch on the feeders fairly regular, but not many at all. Think that 'fat finch' has hammered them

[First swallow]

Saw the first one yesterday morning at work, think a few days later than last year

[This.mite start something going who still lamps long ears and why do lads think it's.wrong to lamp them personally I think they our fair game]

You do get idiots smashing fences/gates though and leaving shite/litter everywhere, be daft saying owt else

[What's rabbit numbers like in England very poor here in N lreland maxi hit alot off places but knock over a few no big numbers at all bit of crack just]

Round work got hit quite hard with myxomatosis this time, think because it had been missed for a good while, unlike other places. But there's already baby bunnies about

did it look faster or was it leaving coursing breds ? 

Both, but they can't keep it up, nothing can

[Lets See Them Whippets, Coarsing, Racing, Working]

Can't comment on racing, but I had a lurcher sired by a top whip grey scratch racer. He was the fastest dog off the line on any ground/situation I've had. That's over salukis, saluki lurcher and a lurcher x lurcher with sal in. So the real thing would obviously smoke anything, like has been said just for a while though..

[Crafts man]

Search wedding bird cage, loads come up on amazon etc 

Sure the little I've seen of dove releases, they used a small white pigeon basket

Hmm… not sure about that. An old acquaintance of mine, Karen Fisher of Ruwais Salukis has had coursing Salukis since her father imported them from Saudi and Bahrain many years before they were seen in Hull !

Notice the cropped ears;

Two of her dogs;

Cheers.

I know it's about non ped whips.

But I think your wrong, the ancestors of today's saluki lurchers would of been in Hull first, before they imported that first bitch

[All this paranormal bullshit]

There's meant to be ghosts and haunted places round here, I've seen feck all anywhere or any time. Close family have seen things and one even moved house because it was haunted, didn't see feck all there either.

Only thing, one of my dogs would drop back on the lead where people have seen something on the road, and pick back up when past

Were there images of it laid out properly next to a tape measure? That's  surely one of the first things any one would do if they found a four and a half foot cat!

Another would be to send it to the Natural History museum for confirmation . 

Certainly if you look at the perspective of the picture  there is nothing to support it being the claimed size..  

Also having read a bit more ,the Kellas cat thing looks a bit overblown  . Basically they are just a mongrel Wildcat     that favour the black gene and - claimed monster road kill aside- are no bigger than a  Wildcat.

I would imagine such crosses have been occurring for centuries but the black ones get the publicity.

Of course not lol. It's a video, when he's standing away from it you can tell its proper size imo, but don't take my word watch it he's called 'Ac coming back to life' or similar.

Pure wildcats are rare, crossing with moggies is their biggest threat. Folk are trapping the crosses and neutering them

[Big cats UK]

I watched that video of the roadkill cat when it first went on youtube, it's a big sturdy cat, but imo it's nowhere near that length, watch it and take note of the kerb stones etc 

[Charm of finches.]

No linnets on our feeders ever and we get allsorts. Bullfinch don't come on either, been on dead nettles behind.

It bugs the shit out of me when I see a charm of finches and I can't tell what they are lol

[Using rat Poison around kennels]

I'd never put poison in the garden. Any rats that visit the bird feeders get trapped or shot

[Irish terrier x]

Lucas had Irish Lady from first page and other P King dogs, Dinty head, Sandy etc in him

An owner of Pepsi said he was good on his day but he'd sometimes put the handbrake on, that's why he had a few owners

Ok no worries thanks mate 

Just be careful with food for wild/garden birds, it can be lesser quality and not stored the same as food for aviary birds, seen some crawling with weevils.

The above food might be spot on, can't comment on it, just thought it was worth mentioning

Also a 'Torquay Boy' at stud on pets4homes, only seen the ad

[Non peds]

The well-known Shearer was Deacon X Foxy like MC said.

Indie and Carson from natural born hare killers dvds were Wee Bob X Molly, Wee Bob sired by Indian Joe. Think folk on here like Stiff are from them parts

[kelpie x whippet collie greyhound?]

Look on the greyhound section of pets4homes, got the breeding and what's left 

[Big numbers in one night]

Never made sense to me either, could be different elsewhere but it's folk that have to travel for whatever that seem daft on numbers

[Boar hunting with dogs in the UK ?]

Some deer grey X borzoi pups on pets4homes at the minute, not something you see much of

[Collie lurchers]

They had litters off Don, some members had pups, one was red black masked like above

Always been interested in things like this for some reason
