So I finally got a permission 8-) it's only a small holding just over an acre about a 5 min walk from where I live . the guy who owns it is having trouble with crovids so asked if I could help . He also said their is some squirrels and rats I can control but I'm not aloud to shot the wood pigeons or collard doves as he's wife likes them :shock: they grow a lot of fruit and veg which is taking a constant pounding due to the birds and squirrels. He told me its going to be an uphill battle as his wife feeds the song birds and Fox's so there is always plenty of food about .
Anyway I've managed to get down there twice the first outing was really just to have a look about get used to the land . I managed to take a crow and squirrel ,didn't take pictures I forgot :oops:
The pictures below are of my second visit . Honestly I've never seen so many crovid species in one place it's under siege :o
Hopefully I'll get down there this week and bag a few more .

It's unbelievable Ray to be honest just pure luck that I got it . It's only temporary mind just until I reduce the numbers enough for the land owner not to need me anymore (that's what he's told his wife anyway) fingers crossed that it will hopefully lead to more permission .
