  1. Is that wool in his mouth....not been on the sheep again has he...tut tut..... :D
  2. You want to put a bit of tape on that collar buddy...or you might regret it.....
  3. Lamping for numbers....daytime for quality....... JMO.
  4. I have a garmin astro. best thing I ever did buy. Wish I'd have had one years ago.Can't recommend them enough....
  5. Does that not then show you that the land is capable of sustaining those numbers even without game birds? Because if there was not enough food for them they would not be there. Simples really. TC I believe that this may have been an accurate assessment decades ago, but the buzzards today are in unnaturally high populations due to the amount of roadkill on the roads. The roads are keeping populations too high. Thats my HO.
  6. Personally i would get his recall 110% first. Until that moment you are building on top of weak foundations. Also I would only do retrieves twice a week at the very most. That's if you want the retrieve to be a 'game'. Myself, I would rather it be a habit. Dog's get bored of games. But that's JMO.....Good luck. .JD
  7. I guess the answer comes down to your definition of the word value?
  8. Apparently there aren't any moles in the entire emerald isle. I met a fella from the South (he worked for Eco Lab) on a course a few years ago and all he wanted to know was about mole catching as he had never done it. I heard an unlikely explanation once as to why there are no moles in Ireland. Anyone have any theories? Maybe that ireland split from the British Isles while still in ice age. The moles colonised as the ice retreated, as the ice melted the moles made it across doggerland before the channel filled up with water again. Moles didn't make it across to ireland as the irish s
  9. Found this one today. Proper small female and here's the weird thing, I just knew it was going to be white before I lifted the trap. It was caught about ten yards from the last white one. JD
  10. #1, this is not a legal requirement, nor could it be raised under any animal welfare issue. Even is a mole was 'foul caught' it won't last long at all. A 24 hour check is neither here nor there........ #2 I was always under the assumption that mole traps were not covered under the STAO..... I bet this jeff fella isn't using any of his money on the legal side of things, he will be in bed with the RSPCA and needs outing as such. IMO.
  11. Great footage.....Well done you. What camera was this recorded on?
  12. This wants bringing out in the open.......can we know details on these reasons. I could not see anything at all illegal in the films. Edited to add: I hope this doesn't put others of from making these great films.
  13. I often use a piece of wood cut to the correct size. Not rocket science..
  14. Going rate seems to be £150- £200
  15. Show me one tack-sharp pic from a Sony..... ive just got a new lense so will get back to you. or is it allowed to borrow one. Just show me one.....as I am not really sold to sony for true quality pics.....I only believe that Canon and Nikon can deliver proper tack-sharp shots. but thats JMHO.
  16. Where did you take the cappy pics....Loch Morlich by any chance?? No i knew a good few places back in the day to view capercaillie oh for a good camera and some skill Oh it wasn't Kingussie was it........ I thought so.........think i have pics of the same bird too.....I knew it had to be one or the other....

  18. Stunner......did you take that on your mobile phone?
  19. Where did you take the cappy pics....Loch Morlich by any chance??
  20. I can show you plenty where the background is sharp and the subject bokeh. TC And i can show you thousands where the subject AND the background is Bokeh....
  21. Glad you told me that now. I thought it was some kind of typo, or faulty predictive text! I'll bow out now! Just being honest.............or is it a case of the Emperors clothes...... I'm not trying to put anyone's subjects down, but you gotta be realistic and if a pic isn't sharp then let's say it. Otherwise how are we supposed to improve??
