couldn't agree more......................especially at this time of year with everything growing, hatching etc.

 

we went out on monday night and spent a good 1/2 hour watching hares boxing and chasing about.......it was every bit as good as the shooting.

alright devvo...............if you know where the red kites soar........try putting down some pieces of chicken (quite big , about half a breast at a time) and they will swoop down and pick them up........they don't land to collect the food.................its an awesome site to see..........we have done it a few times up here................good luck.

 

oh!! do you still have the super 10 for sale?????

 

cheers mate

Definitely plenty of Buzzards in South Derbys, also a reasonable amount of Peregrines. These were given a huge helping hand when the falcon boxes were put on the cooling towers at Willington. Don't know if these are still being maintained, or are even still there now the power station is closed??

Perhaps the Peregrines are so well established now, that it doesn't matter either way? Kestrels? Well to me, there seems to be one hunting along every hedgerow.
