  4. We should do an Alf Garnet......"dog!!! ***** ****!!!"
  5. Maybe he means he is good with a hose pipe ?
  6. WOT HE SAID ^^^^^^. 100% agree!
  7. 31 at my house yesterday! Had to bring the pups into the house,couldnt get the shed cool enough! Even after buying two desk fans! Should be a bit cooler today but not by much? I would settle for a regular 18/20,
  8. I spent 5 years with the same kind of demands! There is more to this than just a gun in the house ! Think very hard about all of this .Could be a nightmare :o
  9. Highlander put up an interesting topic! http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/168782-nature-is-worth-lbillions-to-the-uk/ Puts the damage that could be done into a different light.Depending which side of the fence you are on ? A bit of give and take on both side would be the ideal answer.Unfortunately thats not the case at the moment.Its all a bit one sided.

    Is it fair ?

    Gutless politicians are bringing this country to its knees! Unfortunately there are many other examples of stupidity and its going to get worse before it gets any better! The longer things like this go on the harder it will be to fix them?
  11. Kites may not kill much mature game,but chicks are definately swept off the ground. Buzzards are devastating on pheasants from chick to adult. One of the bigger problems people dont take into account is the disturbance factor. Whether its a buzzard or a kite ,any silhouette of a BOP will send birds into cover in a flash. When you have to cope with 19 BOP,s(11 Buzzards &8 kites) along the edge of a fairly small wood with a release pen in it .Thats when you get first hand experience of the impact they have!. Thats just one wood. One of the chats with the RSPB folk,I told them I had seen 31 Buzzards and kites in the air at the same time!The most they had seen was 72!!! They do have quite an impact on game and wildlife.
  12. "Have they an impact on our hunting / shooting for Rabbits and Pigeons Noooooooo" Does that include game as well or just rabbits and pigeons?

    "The RSPB declared a gross income of £122 million in the 2009/2010 year!"....Fact! "But the bulk of the £122m income was from people who have no direct conflict with BOP,s anyway.So have no idea what the impact of these birds is.".....Fact! "Rest assured they will be putting on extra feeding area,s for the kites in that area to combat the bad PR"... A reasonable assumption! "As usual it will be the lowest of the low in the birdy world that will have to do the extra hours to feed them(probably volunteers Who dont cost any dosh!)"... A reasonable assumption considering they use a LOT of volunteers! "Buzzards were a novelty once! NOW they are a pain in the ****.Red kites will go the same way if they are not carefull and they will end up shooting themselves in the foot with complaints instead of compliments."....If they encroach on Joe public and school children,there will be complaints!...Another reasonable assumption! Not a great deal of **** in there?

    Your on Pigeon Watch, A shooting and country sports website. And you dont know what the problems are?? Dig a little bit more and I am sure you will find the answers.

    Red Kite

    The RSPB declared a gross income of £122 million in the 2009/2010 year! Fairly sure they could afford a few catridges to sort the problem out ? That may not be PC these days! But the bulk of the £122m income was from people who have no direct conflict with BOP,s anyway.So have no idea what the impact of these birds is. Rest assured they will be putting on extra feeding area,s for the kites in that area to combat the bad PR.Cant have the RSPB scaring kids now can we! As usual it will be the lowest of the low in the birdy world that will have to do the extra hours to feed them(probably volunteers Who dont cost any dosh!)While the big boys sit back and give themselves another pat on the back. Buzzards were a novelty once! NOW they are a pain in the ****.Red kites will go the same way if they are not carefull and they will end up shooting themselves in the foot with complaints instead of compliments. I wonder what the rest of the £122M was spent on?

    Red Kite

    Hi Bigrob, My apologies if I have upset your post, and I agree with you .They are a very nice bird to look at. My beef was with the people who re-introduced them and their attitude towards the rest of us common people ?There is a lot going on behind the facade of Red Kites,and far to much to write here .It is another post all to itself. Once again, My apologies for highjacking your post

    Red Kite

    I can assure you that my observations of the "bird watchers" is from practical experience and is not blinkered by any ulterior motives! The group I mentioned are the "cool brigade" and so far up their own A**** its pitiful. The last one I spoke to about bird watchers said in a condesending voice "I,m not a bird watcher !I,m in the raptor group!)as if he was above being a common or garden birdwatcher? indigenous species !The only reason the kite gets the treatment over any other long gone better deserving species,is the PR value! OH! what a pretty bird! Give us your money is what the kite is all about !So that arguement is a croc of KITE! Lastly, I take it as you never mentioned the song bird plight ,that your not as keen to see them back? Or maybe that just slipped your mind because the birdy boys are not pushing it quite so hard as the kite.(Not enough PR value in a Sparrow!)

    Just an expensive coloured crow.Under the disguise of "look at us aint we good" bird watchers who would be more advised to use their efforts to save the song birds instead of trying to be cool in the twitcher world(Raptor group!)!!! The kite is of NO practical use in the countryside if they have to use artificial feeding stations for them. A waste of time and damn good money that could be better spent elsewhere.
