Thanks for the info chaps, but strangely since mentioning game dealers all the pigeons seem to have left my part of essex!

A few years ago the figures i read from a survey was as follows, Tawny Owl up to 100.000 pairs, Barn Owl, 4500 -5000 pairs and Little Owl 10.000 to 12000 pairs

Got a couple of juvenile humanoids, would,nt recomend them though. Always screaming,smelly, cost you a fortune to keep etc etc :blink:

Same as Shaun i was 50 on Wednesday, but i was quite pleased to receive a tidy sum of money from various peeps.So there i was jabbering away to visiting relatives about what shooting and fishing gear im going to buy, when the wife chips in with the suggestion that maybe i should get some incontinance pants, nose hair trimmer, and hearing aid before i go rushing into anything else!!! Damn, i was feeling alright about the whole thing up until then

Ah, this is wot you gotta look out for when you turn 50,you get STUPID!

hi Martin, im more than happy to take leads ordered by someone who now cant go. Im confident Friday,s gonna happen so can i settle up with you then? ATB AL

There has been too many to mention, but the one that always comes to mind (and still makes me shudder 33 years on) was the time when working on an airbase as a trainee falconer i drove across a runway while a harrier jump jet was landing .Nowdays common sense would tell me to stop as soon as i saw the barrier come down, but at 17 i was half way across before i even began to think i could be in trouble, but at that age your invicible (or so i thought) and in my trusty old van that did 0-60 eventually and the jet about 800m away i went for it .I dont know by how many seconds i beat the jet cos i didnt stop or look back, i went straight back to my quarters for a much needed change of underwear BIG trouble over that!!!

Baz, im choked, been on my hols and missed this thread, would love to go if anyone drops out,or put my name down for the next trip. The last time i went wrecking off the south coast a 27 lb cod came up, If i cant join you have a good day chaps
