  1. im a fussy bugger also..... just off to cut my first row off....
  2. Ive only ever knitted a couple of longnets,..but what i did to start was atatch a looped cable tie to a swivel and then let that act has a ring. It was then big enough for my fully loaded large needle to pass through. It was also easy to cut when i wanted to remove it. Ok,.my first row of meshes may of been a little bigger,but at the end of the day it dont realy matter being at the end of the finished longnet anyway. I realy envy you guys who knit 100yrds of mesh....I start off real keen...but then end up deciding maybe a stop net is a better idea.. Lamps

  7. during the nesting season birds generaly give their nest site away one way or another. youll be amazed what you can find if you take time out to sit and observe whats going on. watching them back or just start building is a good way to locate them. ofcourse youll find the odd nest just by luck, or because its in a paticular place[hole in tree/bird box etc.] but youll find plenty more if you find the bird first. knowing calls and songs will obviously help, as will knowing the time of which month certain birds nest.

  14. when i was 12 i stole one of my friends dads welding gloves , so i could stick my arm down a hole in a tree and remove a female tawny owl,to get one of her chicks. Against all odds i reared the chick[which i named benjamine] and kept him in an aviary which my dad built at the top of the garden. most of my mates at this time had Ataris or commadore 64s.....i had Benjamine .
