  1. sorry guys just practicing putting up pics
  2. Well done pete, ringing swallows seems a bit of a challenge but I must admit the real challenge would be (for me) to get the buggers out of the nest , I only have small thick "sausage" fingers good for grabbing hold of someone but not much else .I guess it would all come down to practice. the only time ive handle swallows/house martins is when they've hit a window ect..beautiful little birds, still amazes me how they make that epic journey . keep posting I find this fascinating .

  5. Good bit of footage P k, do you also run out a net before back pegging ?. (just wondering how others net)
  6. i get what you say tc. most of my netting is done on banks that are steep so can get away with little amounts of bag i do in fact have a couple of tight nets that i use just for this purpose as the rabbits are running down a bank and hitting a net that is laid back any how they are almost suspended in a hammock with out being too badly tangled in the "kill/bagging" i think a lot of nets are set too high and a net with only 50% bag will catch better if set with headlines like banjo strings and vertical bag as well as horizontal bag BUT in all honesty how many of us catch enugh rabbits in a

  16. Same happened to me a few year ago, I was given permission from our local junior school to shoot the rabbits with airgun . not 10 minutes into action I had a copper chopper hovering overhead ready to land on the fecking field. so ups I get and walks over to the caretakers bungalow only to be stopped by two armed police and a very embarrassed caretaker...who said "sorry pal I forgot to let them know"... ..a resident had phoned them saying shed seen a masked man with a big gun !
