Walker570 Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Following Aj makes me feel most inadequate but the litle birds in our area can sleep a little safer from this morning as I had the second of the pair working in our vicinity at 6.am this morning so one more magpie to add. 1376 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 3 magpies today. Working hedgerows they where along my 10 acre environmental area. Saw a pair of bullfinches as well as many other small song birds so hopefully they will be able to raise a brood this year. 1379 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbiep Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Phone call this evening - just after the final whistle went in the Wales-Turkey match too : Neighbour : I've got a problem crow, it's destroyed the swift's nest in the stable. I've managed to get 2 of the chicks back into the old nest from last year, but the crow's had 2 chicks, and is still around. I've tried shooing it off, and put up a couple of CDs hanging up, but it's still after the other chicks. Can you help ? Me : (mental checklist : Conservation of wild birds, check. Other methods tried, check). I'll be over there in 10 minutes. Get out the Air Arms S410, check pressure, grab some pellets, walk up the hill. As I get there, a crow lifts up from the yard and goes and settles on a fence post between the garden and paddock, about 25 yards away. The neighbour (lovely old lady in her 70s) comes out "There it is !". Rest air rifle on the roof of her car and chamber a pellet. Gauge distance, shot lines up perfectly onto the crows chest. There's no wind. Squeeze trigger. Crow falls off fence. Walk over to fence, put another pellet through crows head to ensure death - even though it's only twitching. Chat for 5 minutes, by which time the adult swifts are happily back swooping in and out of the stable. A good job done in my book ! 1486 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
