Fueling the Invasion

.410? Or a 12 bore? Failing that, I could do you one of these but I don't think your trees would like it

 

 

 

 

 

I'm getting premonitions of explosions of green feathers

Tis indeed, a 1944 Inglis model, unfortunately a de-ac. If you really want one, go to something like War and Peace in the summer, take cash and buy at the end of the day

I dont really want one.......i think that i have seen enough guns in my time in coventry:thumbdown: to make me wish they were all at the bottom of the sea.

I have it as a piece of history. My dad can remember using them on National Service in his youth, as can his older brother who was just old enough to serve at the end of WW2. When it comes down to it, a gun is a tool just like a saw and the only problem comes about with the individual using it.

Or a tool in the hands of a tool

Missed a great shot today (photo, not rifle) when taking a picture of this Inonotus hispidus decay/habitat.

 

Just after I clicked, a flourescent green head peered out looked at me as if to say Oi!

 

then flew off before I could get the shot

 

 

There was another one in there but it was camera shy.

I think parakeets are on the General license. That means you can legally shoot them already.

[David Humphries]

My understanding is that it has to be 'proved' to be either;

 

causing significant damage to crops

 

having a significant, negative impact on native wildlife

 

or raising issues affecting public health and safety

 

 

I don't think control under a 'general license' would be lawful, the above has to be satisfied and under the restrictions of a 'special license'

 

 

 

Not that I particularly agree with the above.
