  2. So after watching multiple videos on YouTube I decided to have a go at knitting my first ever net , I whent for a gate net as I don't realy have an use for a long net as rabbits are so thin on the ground round by me now so I watched some videos and sent acouple of  pms to find out wich was the best twine to use, I then was giffeted some twine off my mate who had some left over twine from when he tried to make some purse nets but gave up and just bought some up so I thought I'd have a couple practice runs first and after 2 days I finaly finished my first ever gate net , still got to put the draw cord on wich are on order . 

    A big thank you to nettrigger for putting up with me chewing his ear off for advice and sending me lots a vids and helped me out when I messed up .. its not the prettiest net but its my first and I'm chuffed with it ,

  3. Nothing now mate , split up with ex wife 18 month ago moved in to terrace house , had to put my dogs and hawks at my old dears for couple month then ended up getting rid as wasn't fair on them , hopefully moving soon so will get hawks and spaniels back when have a garden  but dout will get another runner now as its dead round by me now and don't have the heart to be driving round all night looking for game to run, plenty of feathers game round by me so makes sense to get another hawk in 

     

    Mite get a whippet greyhound or full whippet tho for in the house, plus my 8 Yr old lad can handle a whippet for the odd night lamping but my days of serious lamping are long gone

    Was looking out into Garden & seen this fella or girl sat fence line. Having it's morning snack a ring neck dove. At first I was abit angry that it was near my birdroom. But I've always been a raptor lover. Long before I got avairy birds. One of my pals said to me why didn't you kill it. Talking about the loss of song birds through sparrow hawks. Saying that a sparrow hawk can eat 4 to 5 song birds a day. 

    If a male if providing  feed for a female to feed young then yea they will catch multiple times a day , mostly a spar will catch feed and then put its food over and be happy until it needs to feed again , bop feed when they need to unlike dogs that eat when ever they can ,

    To honest I'm the same with spiders. I'm not scared of them, I a can bluff it out and remove them  from a room looking all brave, even worked under floors in electrical switch rooms that have small plague like populations, but when one pops up unexpectedly I shit myself. And it's always MASSIVE!

    Kieran Sampler, 29, has been a pest controller for seven years and has caught 50,000 rats in that time. He...

    this lad reckons he's had 50,000 rats in 7 years, including one as big as a dog! 

    Every year the newspapers tell us rats are getting bigger and smarter. By the time I retire they are going to be the size of Labradors and driving cars!

     

    Seen a few rats driving round in cars to be fair 🤣
