Zac on rabbits if you fit a doubler the FOV is very narrow, ok for foxing 100yds and onwards. Thats why leaving it at 6.5x is probably better to get on target, even if the image isn't as good. With the ward you can go from 3x mag find it and then wind the mag upto 16x if you want and take the shot. Having high mags gives better image quality but it becomes a nightmare for finding things, even when using a spotter, etc Thanks for the feedback IanB, as for the OP - go spend some pennies, I don't think you'll regret it. Happy shooting ?

Have recently fitted one to an HMR - 2nd what IanB has said regarding the photon. Needed to pack the mount to zero as ran out of adjustment but no real problem with this. Would benefit from some more magnification on longer range bunnies & on the new scopes I believe you cannot fit the doublers which is a shame. Have fitted a Deben IR torch to the unit which was a worthwhile improvement - a luxury not a necessity. Overall very pleased with it.

Actually smaller than our native European hornet - not to mistaken with the "Giant Asian Hornet". Arrived in Tetbury, Gloucestershire a couple of months ago. The nest was destroyed so hopefully no queens had developed/left to hibernate over winter. Sorry Neil, missed the fact that your in Ireland. Interesting/worrying to see they had burrowed into the wall behind.

Excellent write up, good to hear & hope for many more successful outings?

Two (at least) fungi look like this, One is delicious to eat.......the other is not for eating. Testing my memory but believe this indicates a problem with the tree, not a good sign. A bit of research is needed

Looks almost like there's some lacing on his breast feathers? Not the best photo but here's one of our CLB boys. Very little gold barring as we like the neck plumage to be white as opposed to gold

Go visit your local beekeeping association - hopefully it won't be full of little hitlers but will be full of people giving good advice freely. If anything like our local association there will be an apiary where you can get some hands on experience - you may change your mind about a TBH. Good luck with your venture anyway.

Does Any One Keep Bees, Quick Question.
ZacB replied to jocky's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
Only time I've heard of using a Q/x under a brood is when hiving a swarm, then moved after a couple of days. -
Load of rollicks! Have seen this on a beekeeping forum, the actual product isn't yet available - their fund raising through another website, can't remember which. Basically you give them money to get production up & running and they then allow you to buy product (when made) at a discounted price - how kind. Anyone who keeps bees must know the delights of crystallised honey in the frames - please explain what this is going to do to my newly purchased bit of well marketed un-nescessary high tech trash. Think that sums up my feelings nicely

Cheers Bobcullen. Will try a slowly slowly approach as a first then outside of the run & see how things progress

Any tips on introducing our new member of the family (currently in quarantine) to the mob? How long to keep in quarantine? We were planning on feeding them all up and then introducing her on full tummies. Don't really know her history as bought at an auction, this years kit supposedly and a good worker?!? Appears to be healthy, alert & friendly enough, well haven't lost any fingers yet!

I'm guessing this method bruises the hell out of the rib cage area? Reason I ask is where our rabbits go, they come out of jackets & sold whole on the counter so a black & blue top half wouldn't look quite as appealing. Still might have a play on a young'un though just for the hell of it - ferrets aren't likely to object

Andy Kelly on here.......irrelevant of shows I wouldn't go anywhere else.

That is an offer not to be missed for somebody........very generous-shame your not closer
