    I know from first hand experience how hard it is to get a book into print Johnny - please put me down for a copy of your new book, I certainly enjoyed the last one, and I know a lot of the ground you walked over and refer to in it. Best of luck with it OTC

    I knew a lad years ago that jumped a barbed wire fence to escape the keepers and, well let's just say he left a bit behind and his voice is a little higher than it was :sick: OTC

    I fell in an old well once when beating, it was all covered in briars and suchlike, it was them that saved me falling right down - it was pretty deep!! No-one knew it was there!! OTC

    As a lad I had an old wicker fishing basket but one of the front legs was missing so it tipped forward when I leant forward and I went in 12 feet down a flat wall - a copper was walking by and heard my mate shout (I was only about 8 at the time) and one held the others ankles to reach me in the water. Worst bit about it was that I lost my welly when being pulled out and my mother went mad when I got home ... Happy memories ... OTC

    I have asked and the reply was much as JD has said above, only pine martens, but they do vary slightly in colour from reddish to almost black OTC

    I also think it would speed up the site if non posting members or folks that hadn't logged in for say 4 months were removed OTC

    Find Ronnie Sunshines on the net - they do a good range of those G2E OTC

    That is indeed a challenge ... I think we can safely say we have missed the possibility of mating cuckoos but maybe a pair or a young and old bird would be possible. I have never taken a photo of one, they are pretty secretive - the males are easier to find for obvious reasons though OTC

    That's a superb fish - well done! It will be a while before you beat that weight .... OTC

    Well, here is my my two penn'eth I have kept ferrets for 30 years and have had all sorts including pure wild cage caught polecats. I have seen many dark animals but none darker that Romany's above, that seems to be the darkest the putorius strain will go. I have seen the mink outcross (putorius/vison) but as already stated no line breeding can take place from such a forced cross as the offspring are infertile - althought the scope for breeding almost black or even silver colours is possible. My own experience, wild pure wild polecats and half crosses are not successful - the result

    Never seen a wild one Pat, and don't know enough about them to comment on colours but I will say that it looks like a beautiful animal You're lucky to have them over there, I have a friend in Eire that catches a few in his mink traps, I will ask him OTC
