well decided to take the prosport 22 to work with me this morning as the last week the maggies have been going daft where im working,7 o clock the first one appeared screaming its head off air arm field to the head,then they appeared from no where i managed to take another 2 while they were looking at there mate lying on the floor,just before i left to come home for my dinner they were re grouping again ,ive never saw as many magpies as this knocking around when its not breeding season what they like where you live

Ive had about 10 magpies this week alone mate. Normally only get about 1 a week. Agree there's loads of them about. Squirrels have been out in abundance as well.

We often see 17 round the skip at work if nobody local doing anything about them the numbers get crazy

They will always be where I'm building these new messes in great numbers.but no one has ever culled them I'm only there 3 weeks so I will see how many I can take out for the land owner

Keep plugging away at them they will soon go elsewhere. Had a walk round the fishery earlier and had a couple some pigeons, seagull and a few crows.

keep at them jjm, will help the songbirds no end come spring. i saw them harassing the blackbirds nest in the garden constantly in spring this year and saw no sign of any fledging.

i know mate i had a black birds nest in my garden ,the maggies were there all the time mate i shot a few but they got the young in the end i hate maggies as much as i hate rats and will shoot them when ever i get a chance

No nests for them to rob so they come in to towns to rob what ever they can .

 

Its funny how you can get close to them when you have no rifle at hand some times with in 4 or 5 feet

 

but they feck off as soon as you reach for your rifle there clever birds are the magpies just like them crows lol
