Springwatch.

[x38 179]

if u had of been watching it from the start chris packman commented that he would bet money on the sett not being active but the next night they showed 2 badgers entering the sett

 

:clapper: :clapper:

There you go. I started watching it the first night but turned it off after something silly was said. But not before it showed the badger sette that they had their cameras all set up for.

The entrance was full of leaves and I said to myself that whoever's watching that knows nothing of badgers.

Night 2 they held up a card and written on it it said "BADGERS 0". They said there was still no sign.

At this time of year badgers should be appearing at dusk and will be quiet active. Also the population of a sette would be at it's highest at this time of the year.

Every terrierman should know the ways of the badger not to break the law but to stay within it.

[gonetoearth 5,144]

I watched a bit of it last night and I'm looking at it now. Don't ask me why.

Anyways, they have a camera set up to film Badgers emerging from their sette.

It's now day 2.

Last night I remarked to my family that that badger sette looks unused.

Tonight they still haven't seen a badger emerge.

Now these people are supposed to be wildlife experts.

Have they got it wrong??

Anyone who works terriers should be educated in the signs of the badger. I know I am.

 

Makes you wonder about a so called experts word in court against an experienced terrier man.

THE BBC isnow run by the pc brigade the presenters of spring watch mary, mungoand midge are book experts they commision this drivel every year turn up to the same location and sit in a porter cabin , they know foooooooook all end of

I met Simon King once,he was filming peregrine falcons on the coast in Llantwit Major.Even though he was working he spent a good 10-15 minutes having a chat with us.........a real nice guy.

King is still an anti and got the job because of his parents.

I hear what your saying Tony. But IMO the true expert is the countryman who knows the countryside from being in it, both working, watching and harvesting it.

Not from books or classrooms or bambi type ideals.

When a terrierman or huntsman gets accused of interfering with a sette these are the type of people who are called upon to give expert evidence in court. This goes for keepers accused of bird of prey crimes too.

I deal with Anti's regularly and I wouldn't call them foolish or ignorant. They are most certainly not fools. Also they know the truth about hunting so they most certainly are not ignorant.

The are however liars who believe in the old adage that if you throw enough shit at a wall some of it will stick and that is the methods they favour.

I would also call them and the producers and presenters of Springwatch hypocrites as history as proved.

only reason i watch it is kate humble

 

Totally agree, a classy bird

I agree with you Neil & I knew what you were getting at which was a very valid point but we must not be drawn to exaggerate to prove a point other wise we become as bad as the antis .Yours with the highest regard Tony
