trenchfoot 4,243 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 there was a swallow in the bedroom this morning, but that's a different story. Bet it'll be months before I see another one here! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Argh 6 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Saw my first on the 4th April last couple of years. Doubt it'll be the same date this year, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,344 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 They would have to be mental to cut about down here at the moment mate, fecking freezing. Was out with the rim fire tonight just laying in some scrub grass sniping bunnies and a spar buzzed right over the top of my nut about a foot off the floor, see a massive great dog fox like a f***ing collie dog as well just walked across in front of me.....he was a cracking beast.........hopefully see a few of his offspring this season. When out with the rifle of course. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
