Cumbrian Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Advice, please, on the best Larsen trap available in England. Two magpies have taken up residence in our garden and they are too crafty for me to shoot them. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the best larson trap in England but they are sold on fleebay. Not trying to "show granny how to suck eggs" but there are regulations on using a larson trap. You can find stuff on the B.A.S.C website about larson traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian Posted September 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 We have bull finches and song thrushes, both on the Red list. I think that will suffice, 17 hours ago, old man said: Not sure you could meet the criteria now? and if other species benefit indirectly, so much the better. I see that cuckoos are also there; I heard one this year but not last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
