    Spur winged plovers

    Whats your thoughts about these aviation threats. They like flat ground near mud and have no predators except the hay mower when it gets dry enough.

    Nasty wee birds can cut a small native bird from the sky with the barb on the wing.

    Lead poisoning is good for them. Whatever is handy seems to work.

    Dundee, the only good one is a dead one. I have them on my property (always in pairs). They are noisy as but have trouble dodging shot.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Only thing I've seen them take on are harrier hawks & magpies. As a useless piece of info: Plovers are native to NZ (they weren't liberated), just not endemic.
