Saw about a hundred on rape here in essex/cambridgeshire. Sat under a tree they were keen on but they didn't come back. Could see them in the distance moving around but not back my way.

What did the ring look like. How does it differ to a racing pigeon ring?

Yes I've lost about 2 stone and I started testing my eyes as soon as I got back in. Still right eye dom. but left eye is way out to what it used to be. I guess I just have to start from scratch again. Thanks for all the comments.

I went out on to my new permission this afternoon. Mainly for a walk with the gun to get an idea of what the birds were up to. I sat/stood under some tress as there were lots flying around, so no net or decoys just me . I had a lot of good opportunities but I didn't hit a bloody thing. I haven't picked up the gun for about two years and I used to be a cracking shot but now it's all gone tits. I know I am to blame and lack of practice but I did see feathers come off a few. My carts are about 5 years old. Would that make a difference, ie loosing power. The gun still had plenty of kick. Any ideas or should I should man up and get more practice in, clay etc. Has this happened to anyone else. Fancied some pigeon breast tonight as well.

Thanks for the welcome

Hello, I had a bit of a sabbatical from PW for a while. For those that new, I was in the Army but after 9 years I fancied a changed helped along by Cameron. I'm not a civvy living near Saffron Walden. I seemed to have landed on my feet as one of the local farmers has given me permission on his land. One field over from my house, so I thought I should get back into it. I will be keeping an eye out for some old names. So hello again.

I don't normally bite at these inane comments offered by the mirror/sun readers here who base their opinion as if it is fact but actually based on 0% evidence and what can only be seen as utter jealousy and bitterness. I know a bit more on this subject than any one of you, and you have it so so wrong.

I would live to know where you chumps get your information. Sounds like you know our jobs better than we do.

Jesus that is mad. I just wanted him to clip himself in. ALL THE TIME.

It's so easy to rant about negativity with out knowing a lot of the facts. The Queen is very underrated in what she does for this country. Just driving around seeing all the bunting up has made me quite proud.

Thanks for looking

Yeah it looks like 240v. It might say on the back but I bet the supply from the pc is 240v. Never mind, thanks anyway.

I did the canoe man thing. It was good for a weekend but a week might get a bit boring.

Hello I'm interested but what is the kettle plug for. Is it 12 v. I would be thinking of putting them in my land rover. If it's direct 240v it's probably no good for what I want.
