    I think it is likely a sedge warbler, with an outside chance of being a garden warbler (they normally build higher up though) - I cannot be sure from the photo

    I came home this weekend with two pairs of gloves, a bag of old carrots (for daughters guinea pigs) and a 4 flat mushrooms ... not my usual type of finds

    Simple answer Bryn - no-one! In my book, folks earn trust and respect. Call me pessimistic, but it has worked out better for me over the years to apply this logic

    Nice looking pup Socks

    Ditto, seems to be following a fractured link to load pages

    It will be some form of worm I should think if they are 'snicking' like that - get some to the vets

    He looks either playful or scared to be that bristly

    Gapeworm?

    Yes, I have drunk much more than that in one go, but it was a while ago. I would die trying these days

    Just wait until your barber doesn't even ask and trims your ear, then inside your ear when you're having your haircut ...

    Pronounced 'Steers' I was once told by a young lass I used to date from up that way ...

    I have used 11mm lead and 13mm steel with good results but it will vary according to your taste, strength and use

    Interesting ... are they all from Killgerm or have some been ordered and bought direct from the manufacturer, I wonder?
  14. OldTrapCollector
    Very good Rew, I enjoyed that

    The Kness style killer traps are very good, Shropshire, at least I have found them to be. I was wary of their plastic construction at first, being a bit of a traditionalist, but they soon outperformed my expectations. They come prebaited but I also used margarine and peanut butter as bait, and they worked very well indeed. Try a few

    Herring Gull, Dave?

    They did have smooth, padded and rubber jaw options for gins, for 50 years before they banned them ...
  18. OldTrapCollector
    It is the orientation of the opposing jaws - lesser surface area, extra power = greater killing pressure on contact Excellent traps but they lost favour as they were not approved for tunnel use,money rabbits in holes, limiting their versatility OTC

    All the Fenn Mk 4 needs is a stronger spring - simple

    I get that accidents can and do happen, but how can you effectively stop a hedgehog, polecat, rabbit or mink going into a trap designed to catch something else? How can the Approval Orders be so prescriptive in some areas and so vague in others?
  21. OldTrapCollector
    But wouldn't that contravene the Approval Order ... ie catching a species not approved by the legislation ... ?
  22. OldTrapCollector
    I agree that they look absurd but has anyone actually tried them?
  23. OldTrapCollector
    Not quite true TC, the longest lasting highs are those that stall as a result of a blocked upper atmosphere
  24. OldTrapCollector
    But to confuse matters more there are two types of Juby and two types of Imbra ... To all intents and purposes anyway!
  25. OldTrapCollector
    But I can't really say at the moment - my book will explain everything when I eventually get round to printing it!
