    What; Still on there? Interesting. It would have been around that time that a single issue was published that I'd Dearly love to get my hands on!

    Open fronted, walk in type, mate. Potter Trap, as they're known. I buy them from a chap, over there. Advertises in the internal publications and only sells to C Ringers and above. Comes the time, I'll tell ye exactly how I made my Catching Box, which I use for transferring all my birds from my various traps to my hand. It's an absolute godsend! For me, and the birds Sex and age of this one? Adult male. Hatched before this year (I.e It wasn't showing any signs of juvenile plumage. Bit unlikely in a bird that had left the nest this season!) No brood patch. So it wasn't a recently in

    Fires; There's a book , out there, so Ringers myth and legend goes ..... It has good photo's of a few species feather tracts. And it's like the Holy Grail of rich ringers! Said to pass hands for Hundreds of pounds! I Think it's by Jenny and Winkler? Something like that. Photographing the wing and tail of anything I'm not 100% on though? Next bird I get, I'll add to the usual biometrics. I'll snap a shot of what I'm examining and shall catalogue it, along with its ring #. I can then run this past my boss and it'll be like he's looking over my shoulder. He'll be able to point shit out

    Mmm. Wouldn't really stand up in a court of law then, would it? Sorry, mate. Can't really add anything to this then. One way or another.

    Ask " Somebody " to provide his evidence, mate. If " Someone " told him, it's forgotten. If he can cite a verifiable source? We're looking at all out war!

    There's an old Gypsy saying. Very much to the tune that: 'The man who lets his woman rule him is f**ked!' 'Nuff said, I feel!

    I'd rung him up because I'd just sat here and watched a Song Thrush walk straight into one of my sparrow traps! What a turn up That was! I have my walk in sparrow traps set, right outside this window. So, I'm sitting here, wasting my life away, as some sparrows hop around them. Then, a blackbird lands under the hedge and I start fantasising; What if ....? So, when the songie comes down, right between the traps and the black? I'm almost hyperventilating! Only for a very short time though. Because that's how long it took for the spotty thrush to rush headlong into one of the traps!

    Got a blackie's nest outside my back door. Only actually located it yesterday. Had to take all of five steps and peer in at the exact spot I've watched the adults enter the hedge since seemingly for ever. Bummer is, they're too old to ring now. I mean, I can ring them at any age. Not confined to those few, vital days for a Closed Ring. But, they'd 'explode' now. Put my hand amongst them and they'd be everywhere! F**k that! No. I'll leave them alone, to fledge naturally. Have to keep this bloody Jack Russell of mine in though. Till they're able to fly out of that little shits grasp!

    Okay. I put up with 90 seconds of it. F**k the endemic narcissism which is ' Social Media '.
  12. Outlaw Pete
    Dunno, mate. I read it as the " Scumbags " were an elderly couple who were now so senile they didn't know what day it was any more. Prime Arsepca fodder then. C**ts would have dragged them through the courts from the moment they'd captive bolted the Dog, in front of them, till they had their house off them in 'Costs'. Cases like this, handled with a modicum of common sense, demonstrate just what a loose cannon of blind hatred of pet keepers the Arse' have become.

    Be careful what ye wish for, lads. Just who do ye think would get to make that Private Prosecution ....? This case was dealt with 'In House', look. No harm done.

    :icon_eek: F**k me, mate! At £90.00 a throw ....?!

    Beast; That's not a 'shit' idea at all, mate. It's actually one I adopted and developed years ago. It's a fine idea. However, who wouldn't like to come up with the Better Mouse Trap? You ~ too ~ obviously would. Because you too are thinking about this. I just have the advantage of hands on experience of the process. Thus I've learned the snags ye'd never dream up through just having a think. I thought the fish tank heater idea was the be all. Till the little wrinkles showed themselves. Some, I over came. Some proved, practically, insurmountable. And Practical is the word here.

    Mad f**kers! What is it about Stabba? Millet; They're voracious, full stop, mate! This is what I try to drum into all my cattle rearing neighbours. I really must try to pin down some scientific figure for the weight of leatherjackets an average pair, on pasture, will put away per season. Chuck in the weight of grass a leatherjacket destroys, in the space of that season? Factor that by the average number of young a pair of starlings rear in a season? D'you know; We could quite probably come up with an actual, monetary value, per bird, to stock farmers! Imagine that? Being able t

    I figure there's almost bound to be Someone, here, with a knowledge of such obscure process? Needs to withstand 23 or so C too. Just to make it a proper challenge Craic is; I want to build an insulated box. I then hope to get an electric blanket. Fit a thermostat to it. Seal it up in plastic feed sacks, to waterproof it. I then put this in the bottom of my box and put my beer brewing buckets on top of it. Result is a controlled (but, extremely vigorous) fermentation. During which liquids from the buckets will spew over and run down onto the protected blanket. See? So, I

    Fireman; Can ye get us a shot of Millets best box and put it up, please?

    If I tried to get to anywhere with canaries, with my horse? I think the poor Dogs would be a bit lean, time I got back! Anyway, I've just been on line, buying some bits and bobs for my birdy bottom draw. Got this, cos I figured it could come in handy ..... I really don't know what goes on inside my own f**king head, sometimes ....!

    F**k! I was about to show ye. But, they've changed the pictures now It's just the front page of a secondary mailer I use. They feature international news items. Something's going on in the Ukraine and she was taking part in a peace protest at her works. I went there to shoot someone a more anonymous mail. Saw her and thought, " Phwaar! "

    Ukranian steel works worker, apparently ..... She'd get it! Caught Pete's eye, she did ....!

    F**ked if I know, Tufts. I've had clouds of them coming into raisins, before now. (Can't f**king afford that shit now! ) I've also had them raiding my, peanut dust encrusted in dripping, cakes. Never had them on my nuts though. Now? I have my nuts out (Though, yes; They're hanging Much lower to the ground than years ago) And no interest. Curiously; I do hear they're buggers for fat balls, in green plastic mesh? Or those Ball Cages? I don't do that, middle eastern, shit Dunno what to say, really, mate. Just get ye nuts out there. Offer the birds ye fat balls. If they come? Bon

    I just came in here, following the last post link, so that's all I saw. I thought; " What the f**k's he on about? I don't shave my horses hair! Does he mean my hoof trimmers? WTF have They got to do with birds?! "
  25. Outlaw Pete
    Found it. And I'm with the guy who's made the first comment on there. Cases like this? I'd always be up for generously donating toward a bit of 'Adjustment' of such perp's attitudes. One lad on here will remember I genuinely did offer a triple figure donation toward the re education of that c*** who beat his ABD. Sadly, That c*** had been driven underground already.
