First round fledged. Hens sitting on second round of eggs. But this time goldfinch eggs. This is the cock bird feeding the fledglings through the mesh dividers I put up.

We've all done it Terry been out and taken a image with quarry. Look at these that go on game shoots over continent. Stood there with the foot on the quarry or holding the head up on the beasts. So we can't just knock youngens. They just need educating. It's okay to take an image just don't put it on public forums. Some have put images up on here. Back in the day I've done it.

Brilliant It's fathers & grandfathers dreams for their children to take up the hobby's they've done for years. Passing the skills on. My skills are shite with a catty. A showed my lad how to hold & shoot the catty & he's better than me . Same with the air riffle , a showed him how to look down the scopes and aim. Got to the point that he knew best like kids do. Lol.

Can't hit a cows arse Love it.

It's strange that they carry this disease Green Finches. My pal years ago used to collect eggs from green finches. Many song birds. Think back in the 50s & 60s it was the norm egg collecting. He used to collect eggs plus keep birds. And he told me about the Green Finch & this disease. Told me don't buy any Green finches off guys you don't really know. Because they may of been wild caught.

Doesn't matter if you've double mesh the finches will still bounce off the mesh. My pal had a siberian goldfinches rip its full mouth off nearly due to smashing into mesh. They just go scatty

I wouldn't kill a sparrow hawk mate. But a know pals of mine that have. They've spotted them hitting the flight fronts. One lad was getting pestered every day. Going in to birds dead through shock with bouncing off the wire. And this guy had double mesh on the out and inside the fights. The sparrow hawk kept jumping on to flight then onto this post. Well my pal put a fenn trap on post. Came back from work and no more sparrow hawk.

Dogs like that are ment for one thing protecting a yard chained up nice warm kennel well fed. Not walking down road by some 6 stone wet wipe walking like he's some big hitter. We should do what that chap does on train spotting. I've got it in sight miss money penny So you know what to do guys if you see a chav an a XL bully. Get the catty out of glove compartment lol.

BBC sees people struggling on migrant boat before five died - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK The BBC’s Andrew Harding witnessed a vessel leave the French coast in which five people later died. f***ing bullshit this video. If that what were paying the French for ( Well ) that's all a can say. Because no words can come out for the way a feel seeing that video. The way they brought just one back for the camera & still didn't rough him up. Why aren't these French coppers firing their pistols up in the air. Flatting the boats before they even get half way down the beach

A know that mate. Bit of knowledge is good mate thanks. With it being a little black fly. The old chaps said black fly. A think many insects will destroy your veg. Fruit fly don't just eat fruit do they. Many a time I've had them running threw potatoes on kitchen side in summer months. When I've had to buy from shop. The bag has been covered in the b*****ds. One point we even had the in bread bag. Lol. A said to wife you need to by a bread f***ing bin. Sick of seeing these little b*****ds crawling in bread bag.

Yeah it says that it comes on beans the black fly. But like you say you don't see them just holes everywhere over the carrots nightmare. I feed the goldfinch the Marigolds. A find the darker ones have the stronger smell. The smaller Marigolds the original you could say. Not the fancy ones

My grandfather used to put his old mirror news papers in the trench with some well done manure. His onion were grand. He used to have a collie cross patch lovely cross breed dog she was. She used to come up to allotments never stood on his patches. Always walked on path. And when she got bored of being there , she used to walk home which was just down the road. And sit on the front door step. With us living over the road my mother used to ring my grandmother up and say patch is home on door step she must have got bored lol.

Just brought it up Arry. Think that old chap told me some shite. But right a small black fly. So when he said black fly that's the name they used back then aswel has carrot fly. But with it being a fly eating carrots. The name carrot fly must have grown. But really it's not the fly that eats the carrot , It's the fly larva. The fly lays it's eggs on the carrot top then the larvae beds it's self down into the soil.

Yeah I got told thats the real name for carrot fly. Black fly by an old gentleman down allotments. Because a said when a first start what's all these black little holes in my carrots. That's when he said black fly but people call them carrot fly.

Love the dog pissing on veg it's about right init for a dog. Got all areas on plot to piss where there's nothing there. And goes for the lovely purple sprouted broc lol.
