Global Warming??

[coneycatcher17 3]

Hello all just been doing a bit of permission this week to fill the freezer and it was a great day out with jills of old and new

We did banks, hedgerows and flat spots, had 23 keepers and 5 that werent worth skinning and and dug to a couple of nests we do this spot every year just to keep the farmer happy and every year ther is more in young later in the season I put it to global warming wetter summers and calmer winters what are vyour views I am thinking of snaring in these circumstances in future because our jills are taking a lot of abuse and are smaller than most,

you think so? its more april-may-june here now then pissing down has been last three years now

 

hoped wed have a good summmer with the colder winter this time - last cold winter here was 96 had a good 2 foot ground frost in december - not easy to dig that !

 

as for proper snowy winters then jan 94 (lost the cars in the snow drifts) or mid 80s before that

 

i miss real seasons - however a decent 'indian' summer would be nice

 

all this wet and warm seems to be good for weeds and flies.

 

on the rabbit side of things - low numbers here last 3 years but this year seems the best in at least 10 locally to me - never any mixy locally but has the harder winter helped the numbers in some way???

The climate has realy changed in Eire since I was a child and I am roughly only 1/4 of a centuary old. I used to be back at ballybunion beach every evening after school as a young lad. now you would be lucky to get back there 3 days of the summer with this shite weather.
