The other one that works for me, is the previous nights fish and chip wrappers, or the paper wrap from a kebab. Put a stick through it at a suitable location to stop it blowing away, and this also brings them in. I think this must depend on whether they are used to finding these early saturday and sunday mornings, after being dropped the night before!! Hope this helps.

My little owl decoy now sits nailed the shed roof, and is a perch for the early morning, and late evening blackbird!! They are not bothered at all!!!
-
I have tried with little owl decoys with no success, but now I use the large owl decoy (eagle owl) and the crows go mad for it. Where I decoy, there are no sitty trees and I shoot all mine with shotty close up from a hide, or with rifle from 100-200 yards. I am not sure how useful this would be with an air rifle, I suppose it depends on your environment and fieldcraft skills. ATB

Got a few talpa mole traps but need some more and have also seen the talpax. Do any of you who use mole traps all the time have a preference for either of the above, which look the same apart from the squeeze grips. Thank you.

Always wanted the Norica 3 shot, as a kid 36 years ago, but my dad wouldn't let me change my webley bolt action.

I've done a similar thing, but with my 200mm lens even at a few metres away, small birds and animals don't fill the frame. I would love a 400mm, 500mm or 600mm! With two young kids and an expensive wife though, I don't think I will ever see one!

Paulus, those are great much sharper and nice bold colours.

Just locked up and noticed a particularly bright star/planet in the western sky. Anybody know what it is?

This little fecker, found behind the ear of one of my jills, and only the size of a pinhead, got squished, shortly after posing for this photo!!

Yep, and looks like we are going to get some great hmr weather over the next few days!

Harmonics? Or heat expansion? I assumed that the warmer barrel expanded enough to make the bullet a looser fit, compared to how close the fit is between bullet and barrel when the barrel is cold, which led to wider groupings. D The colder a barrel gets,the more the metal contracts, and the opposite occurs when the barrel gets hot. When the AI's were first used in arctic conditions, the extreme cold resulted in increased breach pressures which altered the harmonics and the fall of shot. I stand to be corrected, but I believe that when the barrel gets hot, the barrel expands opening
-
Mine remains accurate enough for what I need but I clean religiously after every 20 or so shots at the moment. What you are seeing firing so many shots over a short space of time is Definatley a change in the harmonics of the barrel as a result of it heating up. This is the one main reason why any person who has to rely on a first round kill will always zero on a cold bore. ( it can be a time consuming process) Sounds like you have had some good group though!

I use proshot cleaning rods and they are excellent.
-
Nice bum shot!!
-
Get yourself a one piece rod and make sure you use a bore guide. With any rifle I only ever go one way through with the brush, take it off, pull the rod out, put the brush back on and continue. All differences of opinion on this, but thats the way I do it. If you do continue pulling it back through, make sure the brush has completley left the muzzle, and never try and reverse the stroke of the brush while it is still in the barrel, as that is when you will have problems. What make brush are you using, as even a new brush shouldnt be really tight?

Buy a fox trap mate, and dont be so daft.

Here is a pic from a couple of years ago of a typical Loch Mudle brownie my lad catches on his mepps
