  1. lol thanks, just got worried that he was doing yet another shady trade.
  2. do you need qualifications to do wasps etc? only wondering cause a guy was talking about doing it the other day and said you didn't need them but I wasn't sure.
  3. its the Chihuahua puppy they had for a week then lost.
  4. I feed anything I have shot that I cant eat and never had a problem.
  5. rouen or salmon indian runner?
  6. it didn't cross with anything. it ate some steroids.
  7. I have got the king suro. good incubator apart from the fact that the humidity is patchy. you can notice this very definitely as I have had eggs that are too wet in one corner and too dry in the other. it was the same corners over several hatches that did this.
  8. I kind of agree to both sides of this. I have shot them on the odd occasion but I certainly don't think they should be driven. mind you if some are shooting 300 plus they must be like rabbits are In other places. I think as long as you maintain a decent population you can do what you like with the rest. its called conservation
  9. first goose eggs this week!!!!!!!!!!! quick question though, how much water to geese need to mate properly?
  10. another good idea. also, I don't know the ins and outs, but if a few select falconers i.e. well know exceptional etc. were allowed to apply for a licence to wild take (maybe the young) and train them or hack them back at a different site, would this not help?
  11. looking at it realistically, if I was a keeper and detested birds of prey, I would destroy them. no one would know if I smashed up a buzzards nest in the middle of private property, it just so happens these keepers got caught. now it just so happens I am not a keeper and love b'sop so don't start calling me every possible name, I am just trying to be realistic. on a slightly different note, have the rspb not thought of hacking birds back? what are the complications of this other than the cost? I am sorry I don't know much so don't shout at me!
  12. another thing that gets my goat.
  13. government expect us to eat this superhealthy-nofoodmiles-reallyorganic-massivelyexpensive food when they try to make slaughter laws etc. as difficult as possible? they make it hard for us to sell excess produce or process it ourselves because of elfnsafety? they try their hardest to make hunting difficult when that is where the best meat comes from? if their not carful, some of us may do it illegally and start our own slaughter houses under cover, process food in unregistered kitchens and sell the end product completely ignoring all regulations. and then to top it all we will keep any p
  14. do you ever fire the gun or just clean it? aside from being mean, what is the best way to clean an air rifle without too much fancy gear? have tried a couple of ways but hasn't done much good.
  15. had a right choir today. bull finches, blue tits, goldies, green finches, siskins , a robin, sparrows and a whole host of other beauties that I couldn't get close enough to identify all singing there heads off in the hedgerow!!!! sounded lovely.
  16. thanks or all the great suggestions, helped loads!!!!
  17. bought this cock at an auction 6months ago as a pair. the hen died so I stuck him with some bantams hence the hen is a different breed in the picture.
  18. thanks for that. sos as soon as I turn 17 I can take a tractor test and if I pass I can drive around unaccompanied on the utv with normal road tax and insurance, but with farm tax and insurance I have to have someone with me? what if I get a proper driving licence at 17? I presume I can just get on and drive a utv as long as it is taxed and insured appropriately?
