The spurs are bound with tyings and tape, the odd one may peck at the bindings once or twice but most don't seem to notice.

Hendon Plummer was probably the most influential and successful of all fieldsports authors, but in hindsight maybe the least experienced, but he could weave a tale.

I enjoyed Penny Taylor's "Tales from the field: Lurchers and Terriers" although it was a bit of a downer when she lost several dogs in the field in quick succession. Also liked Darcy's "Down the Beam" with it's stories of the daftness that happens lamping and honesty about how crap some dogs were. The photo with the dog that is being a wanker about surrendering it's rabbit to it's handler made me laugh, know that feeling well  Another +1 for Phil Lloyd's "A Moucher's Tale" and "A Moucher Forever" (will @OldPhil leave the world the uncensored version for posthumous publication in his last will and testament?  )

I have seen literally thousands of fights, never once seen or heard of a bird decapitated, seen them stuck together often enough, seen fights that lasted only a few seconds, but decapitation? 

I’m going round to me mates to have another look, atb

Like I said mate, I have seen thousands of fights, including two world championships but never seen or heard of a decapitation, that's  not to say its never happened, there's always million to one chances like the sentensyadors who have been killed when reffing fights, it happens but millions to one happenstance,so far removed from commonplace occurances.
