    Shit.......what a crock of crap.........as a Navara owner you have my sympathies for your troubles. Glad it's sorted at long last!

    With the weather changing to colder they'll have all died off in a few weeks so I wouldn't worry too much. The existing queen should have died / will die shortly so no further larva, new queens will have been produced which will hibernate over winter somewhere else and your colony as already said will just disappear. Quite sad really, our European hornets munch quite a few pests & aren't too aggressive - just be ready for the shitty tempered Asians that are in Europe to jump across the channel, then we'll have a problem

    Don't want to worry you walshie but a couple of us are having the same issues with winchesters. Switched to 42's a while ago, very pleased with, seemed to drop stuff better however, things have gone down the pan now Ejection issues as you've mentioned plus accuracy issues also! Have stripped the bolt down a couple of times & even cleaned the barrel - haven't given it much thought just cursed to date. Looking at this thread though maybe there are some more general issues with production - don't most of these 22 rounds come from the same place?

    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.

    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
