Well the reality is £24 is not a lot of dosh to take a punt with. One spends more on a youngster, etc. which if eaten is dear and not so good. This may, - may not granted - save a few loft mates being eaten.... so not a lot to take a chance on with nothing to lose and everything to gain I feel.

May well be a no go. But I bet nigh everyone will, or has already wasted £25 on something all ready not worth the try.

OK it may not work, or for long, but if it does, even for a short time, and saves a few being eaten, then it is a must for £24.

I had two hawk attacks, in 2005 ... they went - the hawks - but may well buy and give in a go incase I get suprised.

Yep, I know they may have a last supper, but no supper if possible must be better :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Haw Tooshie,

John Quinn is correct in his assumption that he will stick to TERROR EYES.

A point in case ! I have two TERROR EYES hanging on a string stretched across the garden. A goshawk dived into the garden whils't the birds were having a bath caught sight of the TERROR EYES and veered away before striking. I watched a hunting Peri drifting toward the loft about 1/2 mile out it went into a stoop and veered away 1/4 mile out. Sparrow hawks have been observed doing the same. Personaly I believe they are a marvellous deterrant and can reccomend them to every-body. Contact DAZER £15 each.

 

P.S.

Have not had problems with cats either since they were erected.

super hawk deterrent, got mine yesterday anything is worth a try, put some up and had the birds out all day in the bath etc, had to go away and leave them out for a while, so all ok,and the birds are used to it, it changes colors as you move about, will be a lot better with the sun on it was a bit dull today, so will give it a try, talking about getting youngsters in the sport I read in the paper today cubs from a scout group raised £428 for the RSPB's save Birds of Pray Appeal, they had saw it in the Bird Life Magazine so had a sponsored hike,

The one in BHW is 20 odd quid, I was wondering if its anything like the stuff on ebay which is cheaper? Sorry dont know how to link, but if you type in iridescent tape into ebay theres only one product that comes up.

you get 30 meters, 2inch wide, glitters in the sun and daylight, could be the same m8,

 

Have bought one off ebay to try. Have a hill with a wood a couple of hundred yards from my garden and saw 3 of the bloody things circling this evening. Havnt got my loft up yet so going to try and scare em off before otherwise could be a nightmare!
