A muddy session.

[stealthy1 3,964]

Now then you airgunners, had to get out and check some cage traps for a mate who's on holiday in Turkey, the lucky git So as there is a drought here in sun parched Lincolnshire, complete with hose ban, you'd thnk wellies were the wrong footwear for my jaunt round our green fields.

 

 

Maybe.

 

 

Maybe not

 

So after I'd checked the traps, in between the showers, I stopped at the yard for a p*ss, while in full flow I decided to check my phone, I turn mine off when I'm out in the fields, I like the peace and quiet And as I was checking my texts an angry hen blackbird shot out of a dark corner just inside the shed I was p*ssing up, Ahhh! I thought, bet I know why that was, phone out, camera on, flash on, click.

 

 

A nice clutch of eggs that should do well, its up out of the way of rats and cats, its in such a tight space that even corvids will struggle to get at the eggs and young, so the job looks like a good'un

 

Took 17 rabbits from the cage traps, and whacked these kits that were sat out eating spring barley, but not any more.

 

 

And thats it, we'll see what tomorows traps hold

 

Keep at them you lead flingers

Hi Darkone.

 

Nice post mate and good pics.

 

Last time I pissed on a Blackbird was when I was in Belize, left the eggs in her nest too

 

Hope your mate brings you back some delight from his holls.

Good result with the traps Stealthy,you were lucky that Blackbird didn't go for that worm you were holding.

Its a well known fact that anaconda's eat blackbirds

well done pal ive found a few nests this year [longtailed tit &gold finch &chaffinch] dont know if they will make it though as bloody magpies are prowling about hedge hunting already ive lived in this house 20 years and had a sparrow in the box every year not this year though as a bloody sparrow hawk is hunting this area with a deadly mission -ive gone off sparrow hawks now!

Good result Stealthy, I'll be dusting the guns off shortly since it's no longer running dog season although I've kept my practice up shooting the feral pigeons and corvids at work
