  1. Used to be self employed ground worker did loads of slabbing probably why my back gives me jip. Any way came up with a box for jointing you need 4"x 4" timber cut length way on the diagonal it used to come in cut like that for feather edge fencing. You need two pieces about the length of you slab set about 1/2" apart slopes facing each other 2 bits of plywood 8 and a half inches long for the ends so you have a box sloping inwards ( fxck wish i could draw this ). Then another piece of ply about 8"x 4" roughly but smaller than the size of your joints, make up some semidry sand a cement a hand fu
  2. That Dartford Warbler is a belter mate that is so sharp, the others are good as well but love that one. Cheers Arry
  3. I think is a dam shame really all the slagging and insults, Greyman is a believer in what he's doing and out there trying to proving it. Not just sat behind a PC collecting data. If it gets you out in the countryside doing what you what to do then good on him. Better we help him out by feeding little bits of info we might come across. I know more country men that have seen big cats than have not, unfortunately i'm one who has not seen one. Just because I haven't does not me a none believer, it would be calling loads of friend liars. I think most of know when somebody spinning a yarn, so i'll k
  4. Would say a Chiffchaff or Willow Warbler I can never tell the difference between them two. Lol. I would be interested if somebody could tell me. But then again would I remember the next time I saw one. Cheers Arry
  5. They are different animals in different places all be it about 15 years ago, some distance between the two cats. At this time there were a lot of sightings at Sparkwell (Dartmoor Zoo) it was reported keepers used to see big cats on the out side of the wire. A mate of mine saw one at Wrangaton not far from the zoo the police helicopter took a pretty convincing thermal video at Wrangaton after more sightings. A farmer where I fish on the Salcombe estuary used to see the tan coloured one and my fishing and ferreting mate and his daughter saw one laid in the road a mile from his farm. Three sigh
  6. Have not seen them for a while as their farm was hit bad by mixey. But if i'm out that way i'll call in see how they feel about it. It was at least 15 years ago and at that time there were sighting every week mainly a black one but down near East Portlemouth there was sightings of a tan coloured one. If I hear of any fresh sighting i'll let you know. Cheers Arry
  7. The account I gave of farmer friends of mine where the daughter was routed to the spot and screaming a while back was just about two miles from Lodiswell. This big cat was a black one and sighted three times on their farm. This is a highly wooded area of the South Hams, and I believe them 100%. This was a while back and I don't know how long they might live. Cheers Arry
  8. Looks great that mate. Cleaned mine up and Lamb kebabs Sunday then a nice Rump Steak last night can't beat it alway tastes better cooked on the old bbq. Cheers Arry
  9. Same feeder as the Wood pecker. Cheers Arry
  10. Tidy that mate. mouth watering now. Cheers Arry
  11. Must be spring the Wood Ants are out. Cheers Arry
  12. Nice shot of the Reed Bunting CHEVINFOX had them coming in the winter but only ground feeding in my garden, never on the feeders. Cheers Arry
  13. Got a woodpecker coming in as well. Cheers Arry
  14. GL that is some mix but i'd give it a go, don't think my imagination would run to knocking that up though. Lol. Cheers Arry
  15. I feel this is a cheat really, I used to work a well known leisure park down here, I would alway go up to see the birds of prey. I't from some time ago, just found the photo again. Cheers Arry
  16. Enjoyed that mate, what a fish. Cheers Arry

    Cuckoo

    Only see and hear them on the high ground up on the Moors. Bone hill rocks near Widecombe is reliable in May. Cheers Arry
  18. Could only happen in this country 78 year old victim gets charged. Christ knows the fear the old bloke went through as they were breaking in and the thought of what might be done to him. In my books should be getting the George Cross. Cheers Arry
  19. Got the results two days ago but for me theres been a big jump in Goldfinches and Greenfinches there eating me out of house and home 15k of sunflower heart is only lasting about three weeks. For some reason I got Rooks coming in and hammering the feeders, when I was a kid you would never get Rooks, Crows or Jackdaws coming into your garden. Cheers Arry
  20. Went to see the Man Engine at Tavistock today the biggest puppet ever built in the UK. The kids seem to love it and its going on tour around the UK worth a visit if you have kids and its coming near you. Cheers Arry
  21. Have you ever try it in batter (Tempura style). Did it with some bream fillets one day its proper restaurant food. I grow Rudolph, Red Arrow,Cardinal and Claret F1 to spread the season. Thompson & Morgan did a packet with four varieties in it last year but the seed was mixed but gave you a season fro November to May. Cheers Arry
