Liar.

BTW your kill filter seems to have stopped working again, or do you
only use it when you need to run out on an argument? lol

In reply to the bit about the farmers fault for winter lambing - we put the
rams in earlier this time round and had end of March lambing which is early
for hereabouts - no trouble with the birds and didn't have to shoot any -
They were more of a nuisance later in the year during the period when
feeding young (blackbacks mainly) a neighbour lost a few lambs - Of course
they kill lambs and the odd ewe even that has laid over in a bad spot but
that is nature - and I find it very natural to shoot them - Don't do it for
fun, just when neccessary. A gun and a pocketful of cartridges being too
much like work to have to carry around - Mick

You should be used to he of the many names by now. He will not believe
a word you say because it does not agree with his preconceived ideas.

I doubt he would believe that corvids attack animals eyes if by some
misfortune he had his own pecked out. He would rationalise by saying it
was night.
