  4. Does anyone use steel shot to shoot pigeons? Looking to buy some pigeons in east anglia. Just drop us a message if you can help Thanks guys!
  5. Not too sure but if the bloke was flying his owl everyday for an hour or two this means the owl would be on the same block for the remaining 22-23 hours in a day, surely the owl would develop foot problems before too long? no it probably wouldn't.... no different to sitting on the perch in the cage.
  6. I have just got myself a six year old female harris with an attitude, just come out of the moult and have started flying her.............. had no end of suprises with her, including losing half of my nose! hope to get my male harris back up and running by December all being well....................
  7. Was looking for a harris, gos or redtail...... was happy to pay 200-300 quid depending on what was on offer, I have been offered a female harris, going to look at her tomorrow
  8. Just wondering if anyone could help. I got a male harris at the beginning of the year, he came from a very late clutch so I ended up with him at an odd time of year to get a harris (if that makes sense). A couple of months down the line he fractured his leg ( which cost me a pretty penny at the vets, I would have just put him down to save money but my working animals and birds mean more to me than that). As a result of this he was left to rest for a couple of months after his leg had healed and consequently started to moult out. So now I have no bird to fly and a lot of reasons that I need a b
  9. according to a few of the ex cops ive spoken to around Suffolk, the met are generally a dirty bunch (not saying all! just what ive been told) and that when the miners strikes etc. were on in the 80's, the met wouldn't go.... so the guys from our way had to head up north!!!
  10. sorry, im not the greatest at diy, but have you thought at all about some extra support for the back of the seat? I have a feeling it may not last long!! Great project though, look forward to seeing it finished.
  11. I think the MP's who are for it should be written to as well, just to show that we are behind them and that they are being supported, but good point though, they do need telling the truth.
  12. I still reckon we are in for a hard winter tierce!
  13. a friend of mine has a .410 shotgun that he wants to find out about the history of and how much its worth etc. where is the best place to find out info about it? thanks in advance potpoacher
  14. no still, if anything else happens I still wont give up! I am just doing the best I can to make sure all the others are comfortable. atb potpoacher
  15. i am right over in the east of England mattyg. went down to the hutches this morning and couldn't believe it. my little polecat gill was lying dead in the weirdest position with a minute kit dead beside her. she was completely twisted round in a corkscrew fashion. if anyone knows what could have happened please pm me because if it was my fault I want to know what happened so I can stop it happening in future or prevent it. the other kits are all doing extremely well and the first lot are getting pretty big now.
  16. second lot came today. weird though, they were at least a week early! all the kits were really small (1 was about 1/2 the length of my thumb!) and 4 out of 7 died. I could have cried when I got in this afternoon!! I suppose that If you cant handle dead stock, you shoudnt have livestock! I hope the others survive as they are out of my favourite gill, she is about the hardest worker I have ever had. atb, potpoacher

  19. may as well reply to both posts at once! can see where you are coming from as it does sound completely mad I have got the space, food supply, need some more workers and have homes for a few already. I can see where you are coming from but for once I did actually stop to think what was happening!!! also, the one, you say less and less rabbits about but we are sunk under the things round here! I have just secured a couple more permissions heaving with bunnies so I may be offering a couple of days ferreting later on in the season, watch this space! atb potpoacher

  21. they may not hatch. I always expect nothing to hatch, do my best to make sure everything goes as it should during incubation and see it as a bonus when things go ok. if things don't go well then I try and find out why and how to correct the situation. atb potpoacher
