They always seem to disappear around these parts. Some learn to stay in very quickly.

Don't forget to thank Teewat Trump for brokering a deal between Russia and Saudi Arabia to cut oil production 

.The price is now shooting back up just  to make sure the world wide recession really hurts.The man is as thick as cheese but he keeps his Russian paymaster happy that's more proof, no change at all in the world

That's what I said to Stavross, what we don't shoot now there will be double to go at when we can?

When this is done with it won’t just be one day you can’t but the next you can, there will still be a period of social distancing and probably more restrictions in the future, one thing is certain I’ll have a different place to be at every night so will probably have to go to one and send you to another to show we are making an effort ?

Drove past neighbours drillings today, absolutely covered in pigeons & sky full of more drooping in! ?

Just phone your local plod for advice and describe the situation you never know if you meet there criteria its all go?

Coronavirus and shooting – an update

After consulting the government, BASC has updated its advice for conducting essential pest control in the UK while the current Coronavirus restrictions remain in place.

In line with the Prime Minister’s statement, when making a decision on whether or not to conduct essential wildlife management, you should consider:

• Is the landowner, or person responsible for giving permission, happy for you to be on the land in the current crisis?

• Can you maintain effective social distancing? 

• Is the management involved absolutely essential?

• Is there a risk that your activities could result in the emergency services being called out? For example, someone reporting shots being fired.

• Should you inform the local police in advance that you are going out? If you do, secure the reference number for the call.

Everyone’s circumstances are different, so individual decisions will have to be made, although the onus will be on remaining off the land. So-called ‘recreational shooting’ or taking clients shooting are ruled out at present.

Be aware that you should be able to justify your decision if you are challenged by the enforcement authorities, or you may risk a fine and may put your certificate at risk.

That sums up what I've said all along.

I discreetly went out today to check some drilling. Met no one. Saw no one. Only drove less than one mile. Dog and I had exercise.

No thanks. Its a pain in the arse & I'd much rather be shooting but I believe in the guidelines and I am following them. 

In the grand scheme of things, with what some people are going through, me not getting to shoot pigeons doesn't matter. 

Get well soon Boris.
