Just wanted to share this with you guys. This is the most amazing tough old bird. I watched the webcam daily last year when this old osprey became extremely ill and cheered her on when she recovered and flew off on her winter migration. Cant believe she made it back safely :D...

OH is planning on joining his brother on a charity walk along the West Highland Way for 5 days in may. He's thinking of taking the mad dog along. Has anyone taken their dog before? How did you manage carrying the food? Doggy backpack? Also, how touristy is it? Will it be pretty busy at that...

Hello guys, I fancy adding the odd Rabbit to my cooking pot. I've read loads of the threads and think the best choice for me is the catapult. I have small kids and a rifle or air-rifle is possibly not a great idea to have in the house, even locked away. A snare is difficult as I couldnt...
