buze Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 they are spreading from Windsor great park. A few weeks back a few HUNDRED of them were in the trees around here in Burnham, making a massive racket. If you think 2 are loud, try 200! And they are afraid of nothing, they are a 'mob' . Nuke them from orbit ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Nuke them from orbit ;-) It's the only way to be sure. Amate of mine has quite a few stories about shooting them, but that was when he was living in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
