  1. Yep, seen them advertised, crossed with lurchers not greys though. Also more recently seen pocket bully crosses
  2. We were once road siding, and there was a light in a wood, at the same time we both said there's someone on that sett. The light started going up the bank, we both said their walking up the bank. Then the light cleared the top of the trees we both looked at each other and said what the f**k!? It was just a plane coming from miles off... Can't make yours out
  3. Garmin do a basic handset now alpha 10, and a slimmed down collar t20. From memory
  4. Were the dogs wanting at them or away? Guessing he was ratching
  5. Lucas is meant to have deerhound back in it, but both of them are saluki lurchers so there'll be all sorts way back
  6. Quite a few Peewits around home compared to other places, though they have a fair job protecting their young at times like you say. Some land near work is in some sort of wildlife scheme and its actually done away with the Peewits. He plants a seed mix and its left, which has been great for finches and roe, but every year at nesting time they harrow it etc they dwindled away to nowt, madness
  7. Haven't heard Our blackbirds mimic, just sing brilliantly of an evening, love it. Starlings round here have bits of duck and buzzard mixed into there song, and for as long as I can remember they've called like curlews. Red kites are rare, just the odd one seen
  8. Still get greenfinch on the feeders fairly regular, but not many at all. Think that 'fat finch' has hammered them
  9. Saw the first one yesterday morning at work, think a few days later than last year
  10. 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
  11. Be plenty interested that don't have emails etc etc
  12. 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..
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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. 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
  16. A collie at work and most dogs at shoots
  17. Know a bitch version that's a f****r for nailing things on the lead road walking, mostly voles. Plus moles, young rabbits, young birds and dare it be whispered a young hare
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. I'd never put poison in the garden. Any rats that visit the bird feeders get trapped or shot
  22. Lucas had Irish Lady from first page and other P King dogs, Dinty head, Sandy etc in him
  23. 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
