Magpie, Corvid Numbers Under Control.

[mark williams 7,563]

One of my permission, last year, asked me to put my mind to the corvid population around the farm,- which I did if you may remember ?

 

This permission backs onto my house just 500 yds away and is approx.` 27 acres of woodland, pasture and arable land.

 

Just a few sessions here,

 

 

 

 

 

The main reason I`ve posted this is because tonight, getting in from work, my wife said, " Mark, look what you`ve done getting on top of those dreadful magpies "

 

Two pairs of beautiful Chat Finches feeding from the garden feeder ( raining heavy in the picture), Robbin Red Breast, Black Birds on the lawn again after worms, Blue Tits,- all coming back again .

 

 

Right hand feeder has a beautiful Chat Finch feeding ( sorry about the rain) - you want to hear these in the mornings singing - like waking up to music from heaven.

 

 

atb Mark.

Nice job mark??

Since bashing the Maggie's that have been close by, the blackbird population in our garden had gone nuts!! But we haven got the finches etc back yet. Credit to your persistance pal?

Well done mark. Good shooting, images and post.

But Five Hundred yard mate, could you not find something closer?

All the very best for you and yours

Always good to see a dirty 'pie on its back. The little shits.

That's a cracking result Mark - you couldn't ask for a better endorsement

 

We're quite lucky - we've got jasmin, honeysuckle and a whole bunch of other things well established all down one side of the back garden - there's always little birds in and out. I think they use it for protection.

Better than that din you listen to Rezmondo

[mark williams 7,563]

Regular visitors now the finches

 

 

 

 

Here`s the weather by the permission I wanted to shoot over today, - top of the road has water coming down from the nearby brook bursting it`s banks and the trees are showing a good stiff wind, not good for accurate shooting at all, so we did a four mile hike around the village instead.
