Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Brilliant! I wish I could ring him! So happens, I was in town yesterday and found one, just like that, dead, on the pavement. So, Mick there sort of makes up for that one. I checked the dead birds legs for rings. Not one of mine though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
