Hunters 'observing the rules'

The video footage above, taken yesterday in the Burmarrad/Mosta countryside, often termed as a notorious area for hunting illegalities, shows how hunters held fire as over a hundred birds of prey and other migratory birds flew over, the St Hubert Hunters Association said.

(movie) What's that light?

The Stone Owl only has one breeding a year,The Holenduif (Stock Dove) in English can do three times or more.So she has to find another hole.At least she did not come back today and I hope not tomorrow eather.Next year they are going to make the nestbox more suitable for the Stone Owl.Years ago there where Barn Owls in this box.

Greetings Carla

Barn owls...nice! Thanks Carla!

Our owl woman has had enough, that's clear. A long time, they pigeon hole tolerated, but once they want to hatch eggs and quiet, she thinks it is enough. On the beautifully made ​​clip is easy to see how she first slips around the pigeon. While she still sits on the shelf, she thinks. She goes back into the vestibule and literally pops up on the pigeon. The springs literally flying around. We will still have to see whether the birds really seen it, but our woman has her point. The pigeons will have to move to another place to breed, or waiting for the little owls are ready. The latter is not a problem, pigeons can be two or three times a year cubs. The little owls have it once did. This also partly explains the vehemence of the owls. For them there is no second chance.

Nice report Carol, so glad you all had a good time.  Next time, a convoy of watchers!

On April 18, police responded to Bloomfield Avenue near Kingsland Street in response to a man looking through binoculars at a research facility at 11:30 a.m. The officer spoke to the man, who stated that he was a volunteer with New Jersey Wildlife and watching a pair of Peregrine falcons. He further stated that he wished to assemble nests for them on top of one of the buildings, if allowed to do so.

 

OH no, he's looking for them! 

We should have equipped Quest with something on that transmitter that could spray water to offenders

It comes standard with a taser.

That antenna is pretty much a weapon in it's self! Plus, she has chest Armour!
