[Guest Bubbleduck]

so far this year, place was heaving with the buggers in every tree.

They don't respond to baiting either, not many left now though lol!

 

that has got to be a record number, your trigger finger must have been sore, I thought my 35 was high as a lot of the controllers here try to beat it, I will now go off & find another day job sob cry throw my toys etc, just out of interest I see you were shooting them out of trees but were there crops near by that got them gathering or humans leaving food scraps like a picnic area, either way you are the Top Man come down here & work for me.

Atb, Foxon,

 

PS, did not go back out on the Fox it pissing down & blowing a hooley.

 

There are houses nearby and one of them puts tons of food out for the birds. There are flocks of collared doves hanging around there as well.

BTW I'm a lass lol

Some say it is not very sporting to bait birds, I know the RSPB frown upon this sought of thing, but then it is quite legal to get them in a larsen & you know what happens next.

I had planned to watch this nest as it developed and put the pix on the photography section, but the magpies put a stop to that.

Hi Davy,

Yes, definitely enjoying it. I have to admit that due to the lack of recoil and being so silent I was sceptical that it was the same power as my Airsporter... but a few pellets burried into a fence post suggested otherwise! I also tried the SAS silencer and its extremely loud compared to the logun. I think I'll keep it on permantly.

 

I put a post on here earlier with the full story of the two magpies for you and Charlie.
