its the same with ETs, then you must produce the rubber when taking off clocks.

if you see a post like this just click on the REPORT to moderator, at the top right hand of the post, it will then be delt with by the admin.

100% with that Chris.

we aplied for the lottery grant 2 yr ago anf got one to by each member a ETS clock,

yes would take the whole 3 commando brigade to have a chance ;D some airfields use birds of pray to keep the area clear of pigeons etc. the seagulls and carrions have a go at the hawks but they dont keep them away, I have dozens of carrions around me but the hawks are still there, and sometimes the carrions are worse than the hawks for killing the pigeons.

dont know why the RPRA did,nt get involved, but it was a big thing with the SHU so big fanciers were getting fed up with it as it went on and on and getting nowhere, plenty publicity, and members getting leaflets etc, and anyone having dead birds were to send them along to the sHU they were kept in freezers etc and produced as evidence, yes a lot was done,, but you just cant beat the RSPB, good god they even have their own police in most towns just looking after birds of pray, and wildlife,

I think a good start would be to get in touch with Linda Brookes she was in the thickest of it all with the SHU, and they have a lot of info on it, I must have a look as I had a lot of the posters and reports on it as well being on the council, but dont know if they are still around,

I would love to see something getting done about the HAWKS, I have lost 3 birds in the past 2 weeks, the hawks are here all the time, and its not nature for hawks and crows and seaguls being in your back garden, but they are there today, and more of them, but in todays society this is the norm, and you dare not touch them, a lot of people want the protection lifted from hawks, that would make no difference, all birds are protected, do them any harm be it hawks crows sparrows or what you are in trouble , so lifting the protection wont let you kill them, or harm them, I remember as a youngster, each year they had a crow kull, yes in the towns, where there were trees, and you used to see dead crows hanging from the fences so to frighten other away, not now, even farmers have to get a permit to cull them, the SHU fought this for years even got some slag from its members for commiting too much time and money, I think you would find if put to the public you would get more against pigeons than hawks, as I said its wrong hawks seagulls and crows are over populated, and they are all capable of deleting our song birds, moreso the hawks and carrion crows, the country is palluted with them, and really what good are hawks and crows to the country, NONE.

The SHU was into this for years and cost a lot of money, also collecting dead birds killed by hawks etc, had more leaflets out than you can imagine, had members of parliment on their side, had fanciers writing to their mp's, they done everything you can think about, and where did it get them, :(, you are not just taking on the RSPB, they have a very large membership of the public, and hawks dont really bother the vast magority of the public, only those like pigeon fanciers who love birds, but there are a bigger majority of the public who dont like pigeons, and its only the older members who know what pigeons done during the wars, the younger generation dont even know about the wars let alone the involvement of our pigeons, so I dont think we would get much help from the public in the large numbers we would require to get anything done, get in touch with the secretary of the SHU, she will give you some info.

yes its not too good,

anyone live near Longforgan, I have just had a bird reported there by a non fancier, it was at the Kelso race on Saturday,

then I will put your complaint to the webmaster, as you should do, not on site and involving mods that have had nothing to do with the thread, your post was getting at all mods , I will;l now lock this thread and let the webmaster deal with it,

those are the rules put out by the webmaster, not me, and no I am not aware of what happened,, you say it was moderated perfectly, so why should the moderators be brought to question, if it was done ok as you say good, so why have a dig at the mods ??

getting at the mods again, as you have been told many times if you have any complaints regarding mods you put them to the webmaster not on site. QUOTE from the rules you are on about : "All administrative actions taken by the moderators and administrators of this forum are final. posts commenting on or critizizing forum administrative actions will be deleted, Any complaints or disagreements regarding forum moderation should be made by contacting the webmaster.

yes 100% Rose, the adminn should know who is who,

yes but it the webmasters site and he is responsible for it and that's why he lays down the rules, we had all this before on the site and it was no go, and some members went too another site so as to get their way, but no one has heard how this site is going ????

a healthy bird sent to the marking station and just been fed should the next day of liberation have an empty crop, and more so on arriving home,

only helping, BUSSCHAERTS,
