i use verse laga superwidowhood and gerry plus experimented with feeding in my 1st season and found i got the best results using them

sorry bout your bird rose will he make it?

it's sickening more and more of this kinda thing is going on

i havent seen a sparrow hawk all winter then just like you scoobybob as soon as i moved my youngbirds the sparrowhawks back flying round every morning

I found this on the net hope its of some use to you "Their territories are well spaced - pairs do not tolerate another nest close by. The distance between each nest varies ranges from 0.5 km to 2.1 km. This is determined by the local food supply - the better the food supply, the smaller each territory will be. The nest is usually built in lower parts of the canopy, close to the trunk of a tree and usually concealed from view. It is a sturdy platform of twigs, lined with bark flakes. A central 'cup' prevents the eggs from rolling out. Nest building can take several weeks and is often completed long before the eggs are laid."

I agree its definately worthy of a write up in the pigeon press

ive just read this entire thread absolutely fantastic it's great too see how people can pull together in such away. well done all

my dad keeps birds of prey including eagle owls and harris hawks, he also races pigeons and he's noticed that there isnt sparrow hawks etc in his area anymore it would seem that just having these larger birds of prey scare those smaller one which target pigeon out of the area.

you can have the lot for £10 or its £2 a ring inc p&p it'll be the same prices for the 2008 aussie rings when I get them in June
