What sort of box is she using, Boots? I've had a lad enquiring about the best sort for them. I didn't have a clue. Not something we ever see around here. I'm taking a wild stab that you're in Wales? Oh god. How I envy you Redstarts! And nesting in your box? F**k! I'll have to console myself with the hope that our Wheatears will return this year. God, to get amongst Them! Can you imagine; Holding a male Wheatear in ye hand???? Trouser trouble!

Dunno what a 'Sole Pad' is. But, two foot of cover is absolutely spot on for a Dunnock. And as for Boots and his Redstart ....?! I'm absolutely tearing at my own skin with the lust to ring those!

Did he get back to you.. :laugh: Actually, mate ..... No! Maybe it's a time zone thing ....? Maybe .........? It becomes a simple fact of life, at a given point. He's suffered certain health issues already. What I now hate is the fact that his Cinnamon House Sparrows and his Pied Wagtail are now a thing of my mind. I'd have lost the photo's hard drives ago.

Fireman; It's ironic that, only last year, I was suggesting a bloke wrap his boxes in weld mesh, to stop Great Spotted Woodpecker depredation. Looks like I'll have no choice but to entirely mesh my own boxes now. Won't be pretty (or cheap!). But. just the sight of those forsaken boxes out there. Where there should've been second broods by now ..... Those birds trusted me! 'Multi Catch Rat Traps' ? How about S. Young and Sons " Eclipse Sparrow Trap " ? Used to have a three footer. Now I just have the little two. (Used to keep ferrets too, back in the day The Horror!!!) Now? I

OMFG!!! I've just worked back through this thread and realised we're talking about Redpolls?!? Silver Redpolls?! I feel weak ....!
-
Really? I never knew that. I have a mate, in Bristol, who used to breed them. Cinnamon's and so forth. Far as I know, he's still about drawing breath. Don't know if he's still got his aviaries though as, last I heard, he'd got into visiting Thailand at every opportunity. There. Just sent him a text, asking if he was still breathing. Ringed some Great Tit nestlings today too. And Pat has a nest of swallow chicks, just hatched, and a nest of eggs. I'll make the Grand Tour, middle of next week. Go through everywhere like a .......... I hate to say it. But; F**king Pine Marten!!!

Thought I'd share this with you. 'Only' a normal, wild female House Sparrow. But, I like them. She's now the proud bearer if ring # TS80643. So, if you come across her, let the BTO know please

F**k me! I can already feel a new thread coming on; " Canary To Eire " Chid's rubbing his hands as we speak!

That's a bitch, Millet. But, at least its a more natural bitch. Spar sweeps over that hedge and the slowest bird there cops it. That's Darwin, right there. These Pine Martens? They've been Reintroduced into a different landscape then they 'knew' before. And they still have full protection. And, Yes; I'm laying on a banquet by providing artificial nest sites for a bird probably in deeper shit than the Pineys now are. What's a man to do? I've always been a big advocate of the piney. I told people how they passed through. Eating what ever they found along the way. Lock up your ch

PMSL! F**king brilliant!

Thanks for that, Simo. That's me f**kin choked. My Dad was a 'Dodger. Served with the North Staff's, primarily. Managed to avoid the hell that was D Day then. Wound up on some god forsaken f**king mountain in Italy instead. Where the vast majority of his Regiment, and a good many others, were wiped out by the machine gun and shell fire rained down on them. It's funny; I remember asking Dad, as a nipper; " Dad, what was it like, killing Germans, in the war? " He said to me: " I don't really know if I ever killed one, son. It was more a case of you'd be in one hedge. Firing into an

Oh, that's just f**king barbaric, Fireman! I mean; The hawk's entitled to what ever he can grab. That's what he does. But, going into ye sheds and emptying ye cages? That's f**king bang out of order! Dunno if I mentioned? I've got a pine marten in my cow shed. Absolute and total f**king slaughter!!! It's torn its way through Eight f**king starling nest boxes. Wiped out the entire damn colony. Took the robins. Swallows. Nothing has a chance around here now. And, what's worse is that I'm seeing more and more piney shit all around me. Pat laid a bit of hard track the other day? Over f**

Skycat; I believe there's some disease that's knocking bees over. Apiarists are reporting total melt down. Whole hives wiped out. I very much doubt it's species specific either, thus Bumble, Honey and Solitary, they're all copping it. Then, of course, they have the badgers to contend with. Not looking good, is it?
-
Can't watch it here either. And I was f**king looking forward to that!
-
:lol: FFS!!! Now I can't stop f**king laughing!!!

That's it. I'm off. Chops and chips time! I'm f**king famished now, just looking at that!

That was just f**king rank!!!

We need photo's, Dan. Feed our minds! Durrdyy stuff!

Absolutely horrific, the amounts they can charge for their ignorance and incompetence though. Like f**king vets! Bottom line? Both are best avoided, by 'Best Practice', where ever possible.

Oh dear. What to say? I'm afraid I am a licensed ringer. And I wouldn't be for much longer if I didn't point out to you and your mate that any form of ringing of wild birds is illegal. On top of which, colour ringing wild birds can seriously mess with someone elses licensed activities. Consider this; What if I'm colour ringing Blackbirds. Red ring on the left leg. And your mate happens to do the same. Then, one of his gets hit by a motor and reported. The BTO then inform me that one of my subjects has turned up dead. Obviously, that teaches us all a falsehood. We'll think it's been s

:icon_eek: Now I Know I've lived to see Everything!!! (And yeah; I too stood about a minute of that c**t before I wanted to put my fist through the f**king screen!)

There's just something about Black, isn't there? I mean, in the natural kingdom. Not in a six foot three, two hundred and twenty pound cell mate in the Verne! Colbat coloured redpolls though? I just Googled that. Led me to places I felt I shouldn't go
