    Nice job Richie.............use peanut butter spread and fresh peanuts mixed in as an attractant and you will soon be reducing the grey population. Often though.........baiting is not required as they will enter out of curiosity. Rolfe.

    Here's some pictures from today.........once the flowers drop and the seed pods form........it is sprayed with a type of dessicant to kill it off and then it is harvested. It is also sometimes cut and left to lay in swathes to dry out naturally but there is a high loss of yield with this method as the pods tend to open and scatter the seed.

    As i understand it the law states: Under section 8 pests act 1954 it is an offence, in respect of any animal, to use or permit the use of: 1. Unapproved spring traps. 2. Approved trap in unapproved circumstances. The prohibition in section 8 does NOT apply to break back traps designed and used to catch small ground vermin (e.g. rats and mice) or the type commonly used for taking moles in their runs as these are made an exception under the Small Ground Vermin Trap Order 1958. Rolfe. You beat me to it Rolfe! The STAO does not apply in this case, although the Duffus trap is

    Ditch.........go for concrete every time mate. I slabbed my dog runs...hardcore base, Whackered it down, dot and dab bedded the slabs........pointed the joints etc. Still it moved after time........joints started to sink and hold urine etc. Another point........if you are bolting the frames to the floor........you will have a hard job drilling through slabs. Rolfe.

    No worries mate.......

    So many hazards on a golf course after dark.........be very careful.........trees, bunkers, rails, signposts etc. its a risky business running rabbits there. Rolfe.

    Oil seed rape mate...........too green to harvest in the bottom shot..........sprayed it off but it was still a bit early. Take my word for it............!
  12. Rolfe
    Red leg partridge maybe........hard to tell...........where was it found?
  13. Rolfe

    bites

    Rolfe replied to sue's topic in General Talk

    It looks like an allergic reaction to an insect bite of some sort for sure...........could it be a horse fly bite? These don't itch a lot but can cause inflamation and swelling. Get it checked out anyway.......to be on the safe side. Rolfe.

    Remember to set the noose well up........10-12 inches from the bottom of the loop so as to avoid non-target species. If there are deer in the vicinity then bend a jump stick above the wire. Rolfe.

    It's a Lime Hawk Moth.........thanks Maltenby for that site Rolfe.
  18. Rolfe
    Could someone identify this moth please...........it was on the window cill this morning.........just like realtree cammo....i was well impressed.
  19. Rolfe
    Yes.........beautiful bird the Swallow.............Swifts spend most of the time on the wing and rarely land other than to alight at the nest site. Rolfe.
  20. Rolfe
    No........you don't cover them........no need to.........where abouts are you thinking of setting them? give me some idea and i will advise you best i can. Rolfe.

    I remember seeing a tape I think of Mick Mansbridge.........and he soaked and un-rolled his spools of hemp in wood preservative........then made balls of hemp up to knit later. This made sure that the inside of the knots were trated as well. I never use hemp nets myself...........I knit all mine from poly/cotton thread......as used in the boot and shoe trade, and these are light weight, extremely strong and hard wearing and fold up really small.

    Robins nest

    Rolfe replied to a topic in General Talk

    bet they send it a rent book Or a Council Tax demand notice!!! Nah..........they will have squatters rights mate.

    Probably not as long as you think........that top lever opening says a lot.........are you going to clean it up and see if there is a makers name anywhere on it........or a serial number maybe. This would date it more accurately.
  24. Rolfe
    Try these http://www.killgerm.com/ or put NPTA or BPCA into you search engine for more training options.

    Depends if it is the English publication as to value............it has had many reprints with plenty in America and Canada. There will shortly be a book published on the TRUE life story of Frederick Rolfe..........The King of The Norfolk Poachers. There will also be a DVD to compliment the book as well...........watch this space.
