stealthy1 3,964 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 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 1 Quote Link to post
