  1. I have a rat problem. One has taken up residence in my loft, i have had 4 fenn traps down for over a week baited with cat food and carrots........not a sniff.......not even a mouse.......and now the Mrs is doing her nut as it tap dances every fecking night above our heads. Its definitely a rat and not a squirrel. Any suggestions greatly recieved. Im off to buy some poison today but given that it hasnt taken cat food, carrots or paenut butter (on some mouse traps) im not convinced it will take a poison bait. Regards.
  2. Oh I see, missed the falling out. Im aware of the cull, must be the one on the tarn that got all the publicity les. There was a danger to aircraft coming into the airport so it was all above board.

Finished in some scrub with a couple of pheasant and a missed woodcock and 4 golden plover which came over All in all a pleasant way to spend the morning.......
  9. Of course,if your living in commuter belt Oxshott or Chalfont st Giles your insulated and isolated from the problem and going to have a totally different take on immigration than if your a caucasian brit living in front-line Southall or Leicester or Bradford. Bradford...........what a dreadful stinking cesspit of a place. I was called a 'f ing white shit' by 3 asian dudes who walked past me in the middle of the city centre, never seen them before and had no conversation with them ! The place just wants levelling. Next day i had the misfortune to deal with a guy that was being aske
  10. Anybody make their own hams or dry cured meats. I am getting a couple of pigs in the spring and really fancy giving it a go. Any recomended books/reading ?
  11. Have just Parkway and the Brown trout on order fishwise.....and a few different owls and a couple of other bits and pieces. Came accross an otter not so long back, not a scratch on it, but the hoops you had to jump through made it not worthwhile Seemed an awful waste mate. Out on the boat tuesday if weather is okay......might take a few pics.
  12. This fish is 10 years old now and was caught on a 'hotspot shrimp fly' from a little fished North Yorkshire stream. She is called 'Parkway'

  15. That would of made a great photo, don't get maggies or foxes here Do you have a good Barn Owl population there Kriti ? You can see Barn Owls anywhere you go on this island, so I'd say yes. I've lived here a lot of years now and seen them regular bell. Favourite bird of mine kriti.......picked up 2 dead from the roadside this week, one which was ringed as a nestling this year.......real shame they dont fly higher and avoid the traffic.
