Looks like a moth that's been assembled by a committee of Druidic art students using pre-Roman Invasion computer technology whilst listening to the Celtic equivilent of Hawkwind on personal sterios made from acorn shells. You seem to have summoned some worryingly goat-like creature (Top ,centre)literally out of the woodwork and is that a Mondeo or Mk 1 Fiesta parked at night in a damp side-street in the middle?. Crikey,I'm struggling to use a camera and load the pics into a borrowed computer and you are doing stuff like this!

I 'm glad I took the two pictures now.To be honest I homed in on it because I wanted to try to get a picture of the dog jumping through the "V" of the tree.Then I saw the patterns .Really glad you appreciate them too Right up my street anything like this , next question is i wonder what created it, some kind of insect or i wonder if its just the way its grown I have allsorts of strange ideas buzzing round my head, fairytail stuff really but i cant help imagining spells & fairys for some reason Thank God for that! .

mate of mine who ferrets several times a week swore by his but up n flogged it recently and is working on some secret device of his own design by all accounts. No doubt the world will be informed it it works and he'll buy a Mk3 if it does'nt.To me the Mk2 reminded me of the pre Grey box days when the crude locaters had a fixed depth of six foot and by moving the device nearer to the ferret the horrid sound reminicent of both an untuned radio and a M3(thanks for the muting with tape trick Stubby .So simple) simply increased. Most of us prefered to wait in the cold or used a line.

I own both(like a wally I did'nt realise that new collars worked with the old box untill I bought a complete MK3 set-up.Could've just bought the collar) Like to think the new one is going to last 20 or 30 years of hard use without a hitch like the old one but I have my doubts.
-
Out of interest are there any old Grey box locaters(so-called Mk 1) in Australia?.A Mk111(and Mk11) collar will work with the old Grey locater box but the range is only nine or ten feet. If funds are a consideration it's maybe an option if you already have an old -style locater and are only upgrading because the original collars have been lost or broken.

Can I have the job doing the moles?

Hello. It's a Pentax S 10.(£119) Girl in the shop said it was easy to use and so far so good. Three times optical zoom but then it goes bigger digitally. Two macro settings. Don't know about mag.I only bought it Saturday.I'll read the book .Really good manual-all in English ,one function per page. Had'nt realised how far cameras had come.I'd been clinging to my old K1000 thinking that these little pocket digital devices were little more than the old "instamatics". Thanks for the fiver tip .Guess what I'll be doing later?. Also as I said to Kay thanks for the encouraging words.

Actually we are all the same but some are better actors.Stick to dogs and ferrets All the best

Thanks.I'll have to get a tripod,learn how to use the timer (took me thirty years to half understand my manual Pentax K1000 .) and have another go.Mind you I'll have to find the tree again.Thanks for the encouragement.Cheers. Probably a daft question . has that been done naturally or by a person do you think ? its lovely i could use that sort of thing as a background for card making , the pattern i mean It's natural but I was up close .If you zoom in /enlage it does look like some Viking on a mushroom break got bored though. Right I'm a bit of a Milman on the computer but this

I know.We,re not all beer -guzzling,insentitive ,macho cave- man types.For instance I like to regard myself as a particularly subtle blend of Peter Stringfellow and Homer Simpson .

Just entered the modern World with a digital camera and been playing. This was taken on the" mackerel "setting but hand held so is'nt maybe as sharp as it might be.All the best.

If you are looking at fishing rods ,a new gun ,a decent knife ,walking -boots ,etc and she says ,"Why not treat yourself for a change.Go for the more expensive one",it really means,"While you are in a rare spending mood I've seen a lovely saddle/bridle/jumper/dress/engagement ring(Eh!)round the corner". My old Headkeeper insisted that he wore the trousers in his household.It was just that his wife always told him which pair to put on. Remember ,there are three sides to every argument. His side. Her side, and the truth!

Too right .The way they rushed out the Mk111 so quickly indicates that even the manufacturers had doubts about the M11. If you get a Mk111 make sure you keep the batteries clean and everything tight n dry.As Stubby has said the volume sensitivity knob is an important aid to location especially as the LED indicaters can be a bit ambiguous at times:thumbs:

what do them white hare's run like mate To be honest I saw her after it but then she was over the brow.Only hare she ever actually caught.The few others she ever chased were browns so maybe the blue ones are a bit slower.This one was.

Ha nice one .But surely children can detect a hint of chocolate naturally. That Star Trek tricorder probably slowed the poor girl down.

Thanks .It could've all gone wrong and I'd've felt a real Milton.

When a few weeks ago a brace of pheasants was reduced overnight to a cock and a head I blamed next door's cat.When last week one of my hens went AWOL in broad daylight ,something tried to tear into the ferret cage and two dead squirrels -earmarked as ferret food-were nicked from my kitchen porch some people might've whispered ",Karma .The fox strikes back". As it happened it was the spur I needed to get off my ar*e and source the last bits for my ongoing fox-trap project.Thanks to some skip raiding ,a lovely manageress at a local shop who let me have some old wire storage units ,a bit of am

Incredable how those chaps with black tape over their eyes manage so well.I guess their lurchers are trained by the Guide Dogs Association ?

Foxes,feral cats, stoats ,rats,even a rabbit once. I well remember ferreting with my brother in the early 's in the middle of a Febuary freeze- up.My dog marked a frozen bank and we bolted a rabbit and a fox.Because the ground was too hard for the pegs we'd tied the nets to logs .It worked with the rabbit but the fox kept going half in the meshes ,half out,dragging the branch several yards with an irate mongrel in hot pursuit. Eventually it threw the net and escaped. If I'd had one of those LLama hunting ferrets from Derby things might 've been different. At the next bury the ferret bolted o
