paulus 26 Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 The laws concerning the purchase or possession of natural history specimens can be a little confusing. Should you come across a protected dead wild creature (ie. everything except game birds shot in season and certain pest species) and wish to have it preserved, you must consider how the subject met its death. Once you are satisfied that the cause of death was not illegal, make a note of all circumstances surrounding the death then contact your taxidermist. If you are unable to ascertain the cause, the information you have can help your taxidermist to decide if your specimen can be mounted. The taxidermist must have this information to hand if it is requested by an authorised person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This year there's 3 nests. 1 nest hatched the end of last week.. This adult seemed to have drowned in a large wheel wash open topped water tank..wether it was having a drink or a bath I don't know.there isn't a mark on it..the eyes were clear and bright it can't of been in there long I don't think.. I put my 1 month notice in at work so a week Wednesday I'm finished there..I really enjoyed watching them chick's mature last year..so maybe it will be nice to get it mounted mate.. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d be in that all day rather than the Volvo d cats mate , you’re likely much more analytically eyed , ti be honest I haven’t the patience to make a living in the dozer.
