  1. The wrestling is still one of my childhood memories........one minute my grandad was laughing his head off, the next minute my gran was shouting at the telly :laugh:
  2. I was brought up in Shropshire and I can still remember vividly, the huge flocks of starlings that would congregate every afternoon in late sept/oct, fly in strange circles, that were like a shoal of fish, and then disappear. My folks who are now very elderly but still live in the same house, say the starlings have all gone in the numbers we knew them!
  3. Us older ones will :laugh: :laugh:
  4. Bloody great set of pictures, crystal clear on my laptop.
  5. the wings are still great for fly tying, but only the imported european ones of course!
  6. Great pics and one of my favorite garden and farm birds, withb an unbelievable range of calls and mimics. I do feel guilty though as we used to shoot loads as kids, because they came on the fruit trees in the orchard knicking all the fruit in the summer.
  7. Hello. Tell us all about yourself then, what fieldsports you are into would be nice.
  8. Which is why I havn't deleted it .............it does give time though to read through it and work out who are the trolls.
  9. Straight through and produce a greater risk of ricochet.
  10. Good morning and join in the fun and the learning!!
  11. I blagged mine of the local farmer who had offcuts lying around, but I was straight up with him and there were no issues. If you dont know any farmers who may have some, try some of the road construction lads laying drainage at the side of roads, if you have any neer you. Again tell them what its for, and they may sort you out. Without measuring it I am guessing mine is about 100-120mm diameter. If I remember I will measure it later. B and Q sell it but its expensive.
  12. Gents. I have hidden the topic rather than deleting it, as well as removing some threads,as I too dont want to get rid of decent topics. As you know I am new to this moderating job, but hopefully I can reinstate it soon, and those that cause mischief on it, will learn their lesson. If that fails to work then unfortunatly further action may be required. As most of you know the forum is here for the majority and not the selfish minority!
  13. Nice one 223, they always make great little companions when working in the garden.
  14. As mally says pykie. Around here a lot of traps are baited being on the open moor but where you have hedges, walls, ditches etc "run throughs" are probably best. A bridge trap is lethal if you put a plank the width of the trap over a stream/ditch etc, and cover the trap with a mesh tunnel, to keep the birds out.
  15. Nice looking area there and couple of bunnies.......I cant even remember what sunshine looks like!!
  16. Bolt action all the way for me, but the ruger semi auto is a cracking bit of kit. Ask yourself though, do you need the semi auto capability.?
  17. You will need that just for the sing song afterwards!
  18. Great picture, will be a nice one to look back on.
  19. Why does my name now have to be involved in a thread with jimmy saville!!

  21. Hi everyone. After a bit of advice about current fishing and expected shore fishing of the mid west Scottish coast over the next few weeks. Hoping to get to Mull or Ardnamurchan over the next few weeks, (up till mid Nov say) and was wondering what will be about, if anything from the shore either beachcasting from the rocks or spinning. I am not expecting much but will all the mackeral have gone, will there be small pollock / cod about? Thanks.
