ghillies 209 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 good image.. if you've got any night vision go out and watch the big feilds with them nesting at night.. funnyest thing i've ever seen at night is a fox trundling through a feild and getting mobbed by one pair...two pairs..three pairs lol every where it went it put up a couple more who hapily joined the others and dive bombed.....
