    Eggs seized in Police raid

    These people are dinosaurs, sick and souless. When are people going to realise this can no longer continue? Makes my blood boil, I dont know the law, but hope they get prosecuted under animal cruelty laws! But I bet a slapped wrist and a small fine will be issued, which would be a massive...

    Walking Boots

    I recently purchased a pair of Regatta X-LT they are brilliant. Waterproof, breathable and very lightweight (the main consideration for my feet is weight). They cost between £65 and £75 depending where you buy them. I would not buy anything else again these boots are that good. Cheers

    Securing my birdtable

    Due to the high winds on tuesday night I have been busy repairing my old bird table after it blew over :( A few nails to repair the roof which was easy, but how to stop it happening again? My son said 'easy dad - use tent pegs!' Genius, I drilled a 1/2 inch hole in each of the feet...

    Johnny Kingdom's Year with the Birds

    I agree. Nice to see a man whose love is the wildlife and he does the programme for his love of all things living. I recall seeing him reduced to tears when he lost his 3 legged dear, he was devastated. Loved all his shows since the early days - good to see he's stillmaking great programmes :t:

    recommend a model of binoc for a beginner

    Cheers for the offer, but, being a novice I wouldnt purchase without trying as I would want to compare models to see which suits me best. I'm sure these are first class and I hope you soon sell them on.

    Might seem a silly question either one of these better for a glasses wearer in your opinion? I dont have to wear my glasses but if its a dull dreary day they do help as I am short sighted. Cheers Again Darren

    I have put up a birdtable today as well as a feeder. Ive put them in my front garden at my weeping willow tree. Have put seeds and water and a fatball on the table and nuts and a fatball in the mesh type feeder. As predicted, I think it is going to be several days of waiting and watching, but...

    recommend a model of binoc for a beginner

    Thanks for all your helpful replies I am looking for a pair in the £70-£100 range I think. I will use them in the rain and carry them with me so lightweight I think will be best. Purely for birdwatching (a lot from the house into my large garden also) Hauki I will take a look at Chew as its...

    Which Owl?

    Thanks guys. I am hoping to set up a way of recording the sounds if my garden, prob cheaper and easier than trying to gain video evidence on my budget I think. Will try to get owl samples to refer to and see what I can find out. Will keep you updated. Thanks again. Darren
