Cheers, D. Seen my first murmuration of starlings in ages on the Cotswolds water park over Christmas, we used to shoot them on my mates mum,s lawn as kids, prop them up on a little Y shaped stick and more would land, she came home from work one day early to catch us hanging out the kitchen windows with our webley hawks and about 50 dead starlings dotted round here lovely lawn on sticks, don’t think I was aloud to hang around with him after as his mum thought I was a bad influence Edited January 10, 2019 by Greyman 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bell 3,503 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Things you did back then......once caught starlings in a simple box trap baited with bread and got my old dear to cook them .......never again......used to tie fishing line to their legs and fly them round the garden ! 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
