Deported I hope?Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 12:27 pm Can you eat what you catch or are you a "put 'em backer". We had a gang of some sort of immigrants from E Europe about 15 years ago with home made explosive and a long garden rake clearing out stretches of the River Lee until they were caught. Also in Epping Forest we had a gang of Chinese catching and eating Swans, they were caught as well.
The Lee is full of American red crayfish - delicious, used to catch them in drop nets. My local the River Cray doesn't seem to have any, so best left alone as there maybe some European brown crayfish left in there - seriously endangered.

Re: Birdies
Eaten by the Yanks.
Yanks crayfish...not people....although I'm sure they would....but in this case it's the crayfish.
Like the squirells. .
And Enid Chambers in the war. She got eaten by a few yanks.....the squaddies that is. We didn't have the crayfish up Argyle street.

Re: Birdies
Only birds I notice around here are Hoopoe, owls or birds of prey.
There are others, but difficult to see amongst the trees in my garden.
We also have a family of red squirrels that visit on a regular basis.

Re: Birdies
I live in inner city Greater Manchester and have had a feeder in the back garden for a number of years now. The numbers of sparrows has declined dramatically over the years, yet we see loads more tits (blue, coal and great) than we used to. Starlings, once numerous, have declined also. One species that has flourished and I don't like are the magpies, they just take over and come nesting time are lethal to the smaller birds. We get loads of wood pidgeons and collared doves too. With the increase of garden ponds we see a lot more herons these days. 40 years ago you would never see a heron but they are a common sight now. My favourite though is the robin, they are so tame and when I'm gardening they come virtually to within touching distance, lovely birds.

Re: Birdies
Down here in Kidwelly we get Buzzards, Red Kites, Sparrow hawks along with the odd Peregrine passing over the garden. Also Ravens, Jays, Rooks, Carrion Crows, hordes of various Tit's & finches, some house sparrows and Starlings but none of the huge flocks we used to see. We also have the odd Jay visiting the garden but they are very shy birds. Greater spotted woodpeckers visit occasionally too as do both Song and Mistle thrushes.
