  1. You've missed the Early morning rush, first light till 9 ish. But this is where a trail camera comes in, it takes out any guess work, I had one area getting busy around 11am which meant I could be somewhere else first. Other areas stopped at 4pm, while a mile or so away they were active till dark.
  2. I had a pair on my sunflower seeds this morning, I saw the green and thought the Green Finch were back, then looked again when I realised they weren't right. First time I've had Siskin in the garden 😁😁
  3. It's broken mate, the bolts on the wonkey side 😉
  4. It'll be better then new 👍 And we like pictures...
  5. Two very different days, I was out yesterday later than normal, I waited for the rain to ease off then walked a wood I've not looked at for a while, and saw nothing other than birds 😁 It was a bit wet and muddy in the wood. But nice higher up, new nettles poking through, a lot of this will be unreachable soon. Then off to another wood for a few hours, only saw two, only one came to the feeder. Big male, look at his tail.. There was a Buzzard hanging around so I left him lay out, when I came back a few hours later the tail had been stripped. Back for lunch and checked another quiet spot on the way, this feeder was empty after no activity for a few months so topped up and I'll look at it next week. Then back for an afternoon session at the second wood again, I saw three here and took another two. All three males. I was waiting for it to get dark so I could check two bigger woods as the stalkers were out in them yesterday, 18:45 and it was still light enough to look around, first day of spring and you could feel the warmth. Checked and topped up the next two feeders and it was 9pm when I left the woods, long day. Up this morning and at the wood by 06:15, in and waiting by 06:30, first grey was seen at 07:00 and I thought here we go, it never even looked at the feeder, just went straight past 😳 I sat for 2.5hrs watching Nuthatch's, Blue tits, Great tits, Willow tits, Coal tits,Tree Creepers, Woodpeckers, a Pheasant playing peek a boo, Robin's, Jays, Pigeons but no squirrels came to the feeder. Compared with yesterday it was very cold, and a fine mist started around 830 ish. I did spot two squirrels further away but they were staying where they were. I went for a look at 9am, I needed to stand up and took a large pregnant female, then spotted a hot drey where the second had been up the hill, but it was staying tucked up, so the day wasn't a right off but I packed up and headed for the second wood. Only to find a mini bus with volunteers in the wood so I just turned around and headed for home, if the rain hadn't have been picking up I might have chanced somewhere else but I got the feeling it was just one of those days. Few, I thought I'd put this on earlier but it's still here.
  6. How's this for tidal... normal.. The lane I'd driven down earlier was flooded as were the surrounding fields, flat as a Mill pond. I also noticed a few fields along the M6 last week still had stubble on them, probably because they can't get on them.
  7. @Ccbambi You might want to delete your payment details, folk normally send this by PM, no idea if anyone could mess about having that information 😉
  8. I nearly put that earlier 🤣🤣 plus the time involved, I'm not saying it's perfect but.... Nice little trip out 👍 And the Scandal isn't recent either, so their punishing people who weren't involved 🤔 I post very little, the little flap they have that an envelope is supposed to fit through does make me laugh, because as a lad I delivered free papers so I know what I can get through a letter box, like the birthday card my wife got, but had to go and collect and pay for, a flat card that was apparently a large letter, still flat and would go through a letter box any way around, but it would have been a couple of hours out to go and post it.
  9. He was a member of Westmorland, and hasn't heard of Fylde wildfowling club, and given where he lives he would have done 🤷‍♂️
  10. Makes a nice change reading that 👌
  11. I'm out tomorrow but going blind ish, the woods I want to be in the stalkers are in. But one of these woods is probably less than a mile from the new spot I'm shooting, the new place had squirrels on camera till dark, but not busy early, while the other wood the squirrels just stopped coming at 4pm dead. Cameras definitely help.
  12. I've got a feeling my mate was a member until a year or so ago, I'll msg and find out.
  13. You can still buy the batteries, I bought a double pack last year 👍
  14. Are these going out as singles? If there are any left I'd like one please 👍
  15. A much better game than I expected that's for sure, and we very nearly nicked it. A much improved England performance that's for sure.
  16. They certainly did, I expected a far more one sided game, I thought Scotland were going to spit the dummy out in the second half but they pushed Ireland all the way. They've just said Warren Gatland offered his resignation after the game, I'm not surprised as Wales were so bad, but they'll improve.
  17. Tough day to be a Wales fan, but they'll be quiet till about 20:30 😉
  18. It's the same as the women's game, it's out there but very low key.
  19. It's been advertised on BBC, probably something you need to look for really or know about. But it should be on BBC 2, ITV4 or C4 for me to give it more coverage
  20. 🤣🤣🤣 I really thought Wales would come out firing, especially being at home and it being George North's last game, but they just don't seem up for it. Italy meanwhile are well up for it. I'm not expecting much h of a Scottish performance so Ireland should win at a canter, then its France v England in Paris, where we haven't won in 8 years 😳 England could win it, or finish in 5th 🤣🤣 great day of sport 😁😁 It's been on the last few years that I know of, games are on Iplayer I think , I watched some of last years, really good standard of games.
  21. Good shooting, sounds like you need another trip out soon 👍
  22. I can connect my camera on the lap top, but the camera needs to be on, I've never tried it on my phone. Might be worth looking on YouTube, everything is on there.
  23. May seem daft but is the camera turned on?
  24. This was posted up on a group this week and made me smile. Seeing lots of activity in the woods and garden, spring in the air, its getting warmer, please let it get drier 😅😅
