larson working well

[Ricky-N.p.p 0]

ok folks I'v had my larson working for about 4 full weeks over the past 6 weeks(i was on holiday for 2) and now the head count is 39 magpies, during this time i havnt really been using a call bird,i tried but the damn cats wont leave them alone

trouble is they make such a racket when cats or any other danger is about in fact whenever i catch one in the trap this is normally half past 6 in the morning by the way they make such a racket i'm affaid they will wake my nabours too !

my larson is in my verry small back garden underneath my bedroom window less than 5 yrs from my next door nabours and directly under the folks who live above so not ideal but someone has to start controling these around here ! or its by by morning corus !

 

just wondering how everyone else is getting on ?

39 without a call bird you must have serious amounts of daft maggies round yours, what you using for bait?

Just using the old hens eggs on a make shift nest with straw,if i get one in i leave if for a while till the other gets caught in the other side, or i'll put the call bird in if i'm gonna be around but when i'm away its just the eggs, i woke up thismorning about half six with the racket they were making, got one out dispatched it, and put the other in the call bird compartment, by the time i got back into the kitchen i heard the door spring up, thinking i had set it too lightly i just left it and stuck the kettle on....went out to reset it to find it was another magpie !

 

theres millions of then here mate,its a serios problem !
