PURE ACCIDENT !!

[Tallyho 181]

ME AND MY PARTENER WENT OUT THIS MORNING TO HAVE A BIT OF A MOOCH WITH THE FERRETT, WENT TO A PLACE THAT WE HAVE FERRETED BEFORE, WHERE THE FARMER HAS STORED A FEW PALLETS OF OLD BRICK, STONE, RUBBLE AND OLD BITS OF PIPES, ANY WAY THE FERRETT WENT THREW IT ALL THEN GOT TO THE PIPES.

WE HAD HEARD A BIT OF SRATTING ABOUT IN THE PIPE, SO IN GOES FERRETT, WE HEAR A NOISE THAT WE THOUGHT WAS THE FERRET, SO WE THEN THINK MAYBE ITS A RAT OR MINK ( AS THERE ARE A FEW ROUND HERE ) THEN IT GOES QUITE THEN OUT POPS THE FERRET, SO WE ARE STOOD LOOKING AT EACH OTHER WONDERING WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN WE LOOK UP THE PIPE.

 

ANY WAY WE HAD A PEEP UP THE PIPE AND COULD SEE SOMTHING BUT COULDNT MAKE IT OUT. SO PULLED THE PIPE OUT, THE PIPE WAS I THINK ABOUT 7/8FT LONG, SO HAD TO LIFT THE PIPE UP ONE END TO LET WHAT EVER IT WAS SLIDE OUT, WHEN IT SLID OUT WE WERE BOTH SHOCKED A BIT, AND REALLY GUTTED.

IT TURNED OUT TO BE A LITTLE OWL, AGAIN LIKE I SAID WE WERE GUTTED, AND IF WE'D HAVE HAD THE SLIGHTEST IDEA THAT IT WAS GONA BE IN THERE WE WOULD NEVER HAVE GONE ANY WHERE NEAR IT. IT WAS A GENUINE ACCIDENT. AND IM STILL SHOCKED THAT IT WAS IN THERE.

THEY ARE LOVELY, ILE BE CHECKING THE PIPES NEXT TIMES BEFORE WE GO ANY WHERE NEAR WITH ANY FERRETS.

[Guest Frank]

Its a shame, but dont eat yourself about it, it sometimes happens, put it down to experince, you know better next time.

 

Good Luck.

[Tallyho 181]

I KNOW , BUT ITS NOT SOMETHING YOU EXPECT TO FIND WHEN OUT RABBITING

[Guest Frank]

True, i agree, it is unusual alright.

[the fezz 44]

accidents happen mate , the last thing you would think off to be in a pipe would be a little owl , dont beat yourself up about it

[Scuzy 1]

can i ask a question, would you feed it to your ferrets?

i kno its a stupid question but would you let it go to waste?

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Little Owls live and nest in all sorts of holes and burrows, TH. They thus get gassed, Dug and, yes, Ferreted. 'Occupational hazard' for them.

 

Nothing ye could have done about it

Accidents happen I would have got the shock of my life as you both did - its not the kind of place anyone would expect an owl to be.
