Best o' luck, Robbo. Tight Lines.

Was told by someone a few years ago the she always froze sloes, 'cos it breaks the skin. Saves sticking a pin in each sloe. Anyone else heard freezing done for this reason?
-
Very nice...like the web bestest of all.
-
Looks like I'll be getting rid of me rubbish ones and trying to get hold of an R-Com, then. Good info, thanks.

Don't think you could fit any goose eggs in the 'Mini' models. According to the leaflets that arrived with the Mini Advance I bought, the smallest model Brinsea do that could take goose eggs is the 'Octagon 20', in either Eco, Advance or Advance EX. Eco suggests 9 - 12 goose eggs. Probably cheaper incubators out there, but only know about the ones I've used. Hope that helps, Cheers. J

Hi Neil, I've tried 3 new incubators this year... Maino MPS12A ..... not good at all Maino See-Cube ... better, but still not great. Brinsea Mini Advance ... easily the best of the 3, and the cheapest. Holds heat well, humidity is easy, and it's a compact size with 360 degree vision. Hope that helps.

Welcome aboard!

Yep, quite agree. Seen my fowl & pheasants attack, kill and eat mice before. Also the Mallard ducks on the lake frequently attack small ducklings of another duck, drowning them. (Poor old Black Neck Swan got blamed for all deaths!) Have seen ducks go for Robins, Sparrows, etc now and then when around food.

Generally I use lugworm or frozen sandeel. Live sandeel (if you can get it) is deadly. Have tried live prawn under a float...with only a little success. Pesky Wrasse!

Hello all... anybody know where I can source half-a-dozen to a dozen (or so) pheasant poults in Cornwall? Looking for Ring Necks, Blacknecks, Melanistics, Whites, etc. Can collect. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks all!!

Wow...great shots. Can almost hear the little splash.
-
Well done on removing them, Kay. Must've been fiddley. Found the uksafari web site...couple of tips on how to rid Bumble Bees of mites.
-
Yeah, cracking shot. Love it.
-
Blimey! For a li'l fella like that, must be like having a boulder in your eye! Hopefully they'll manage somehow, but as you say, doubt they'll stand much chance. Shame. One of my faves.
-
Really like the 2nd & 3rd shots, Kay. Excellent stuff.

Experimenting with different effects
Capt Boo replied to Kay's topic in Wildlife and General Photography
Stunning, Kay. Personally prefer the crocus 'sharp', but very interesting effects. very nice. -
Dog Cockle? Maybe usefull to bulk out a cocktail bait.
-
Very nice shot, Magwitch. Bet you had to be quick!
-
Gotta agree with gnasher16. Clown Loaches will sort out your snail problem.
-
Yes, we all have to start somewhere, but at lease you saw a tree creeper long enough to get a pic. Damn site better than I could do! Keep at it, Catcher 1.
-
I did the same as ratattack, and yes, I saved about £200 too.
-
All pics are lovely, but gotta say, the Mallards taking off has to be my fave. Very nice shots, Magwitch.
-
Very nice, always a splash of colour.
-
Nice shot of the Wren, Kay. Bet that wasn't easy!
