    On this particular job I got there and could see immediately that the farmer and a pretend pest controller had tried every type of bait they could lay there hands on. So straight away it's obvious that bait aversion and resistance are going to be the main hurdle. So PCP,s and NV were the way forward as is so often the case now. The place was pretty heaving, but not the worst I've seen, after I think around seven or eight night visits it was pretty much clear. To be fair the farmer actually commented after the first visit that I'd "cleared em all"! ? Now that initial problem is s

    Now funny you should mention that! He was going on to a contract after I cleared up the initial rat infestation, but then I learned that a certain dick head in our area that thankfully finally lost their fac had the permission on this particular farm for the deer I suggested that if I have sole shooting rights I would give him the year contract free in exchange. Needless to say he almost snatched my hand off. So we are both happy Bunnies ?

    Surprisingly, the rabbit casserole we both agreed (which is unusual) was the best o have ever made! ? and the special ingredient we think was........ Chorizo sliced finely and added.

    Yesterday afternoon in the blazing sunshine I decided to go and check my trail cams to see what the roe buck activity was looking like. Took my kral np02 for the walk. After checking the cams I decided to sit in my favourite part of the farm which is a very old, very little used "dingley dale" old run down farmhouse, lots of very old oak and ash trees. It was as very cool and quiet down there with only sounds being the long tailed tits and the small stream. So I decided that although it was too early, and far too hot for the rabbits to come out there were plenty of pigeons flying in

    Friend of ours grew this triffid from a seed that was given. It produced rediculously.

    I believe that still to be the case. Certainly was around ten years ago. My son found a dead one near avonmouth docks also, but that was probably about fifteen years ago now.

    There are still small colonies of rattus rattus in Liverpool, Bristol and east end docks, all watched very closely by the ministry.

    If they've been working while this has been going on they have been earning "to survive" they don't need to be greedy and scab off the government , more importantly the tax payer. ?

    Got mine in four days. Personally I would rather have been working and earnt a lot more but I can't take the risk. Boils my piss though knowing blokes who have worked throughout and still claimed it.

    I hear Somerset or Wales or Scotland are far better than Cornwall, dirty place rammed with holiday makers.

    Neats foot oil will do it.

    It's that time of year again. We lost our only gosling that hatched yesterday to either a stoat or a weasel. Last night / this morning a fox had one of our hens that is an escapologist. She had got out and paid the price.

    Very nicely done! Well done on a great job.

    List everything last night to the sudden hard frost, pretty gutted really as we were so pleased with what we have achieved during lockdown. So, start all over again. Happy days.

    Just candles the eggs in the incubator, still looking like all of them are good. Just literally done this lot up , ought to be selling them not pickling them but I do like them with a pint of scrumpy and a pork pie in the winter.

    We candled the eggs last night that came from four different sellers on the bay. At the moment it looks like all of them are fertile. Obviously early days and all that. Dozen duck eggs should hatch tomorrow or the next day that are sat on. Goose has at least eleven under her, they are due around the 17th. Going to be a lot of mouths to feed round here soon.

    Funny enough that's the first thing one of my mates came out with ?

    Just finished this! Reasonably happy with it.

    Two gallons of turbo started today. Works out at £2.20 a gallon.

    Thanks ?

    No I should just have used the stencil while the leather was dead flat, wetted it before stenciling.

    I find leather working soul-destroying and incredibly satisfying in equal measure. I am in the middle of making a wrist protector for archery at the moment. It was going great, then I tried something new using a stencil, that's when it went south. Back to the drawing board

    The cider and eater orchards are looking really good, the pears and plums too so hopefully we won't get a late frost and lose nearly everything like last year. All the fruit bushes are looking fairly promising, particularly the blueberries and currants. Fingers crossed now for a bountiful summer.
