    Just a note (and no, I am not a plover lover), if you have ponds with ducks breading on them, having plovers around is a good thing as they hound the hawks out of the area, saving the ducklings.
    If you do have ducklings, and you also have shags, shoot the f'n shags. They will demolish a clutch of ducklings in under an hour.

    Thanks @hotbarrels. Now that you mention that we had a set of ducklings on Tuesday which had freakishly disappeared by Wednesday........ noticed the hawks hanging round there more than usual aswell as the usual traffic of pukekos.

    Actually knocked a couple of these over myself at the direction of my employer who informed me of just how unpleasant these aholes are. Lots of little fan tails and song birds around where i live and have seen them knocking them out the sky which really pisses me off specially with those barbs on their wings. Plus the make a bloody racket also.

    Your rifle works unsupervised? Brilliant, I can only assume it has its own license.

    I kinda like the wee buggers. You gotta hand it to them they've got big hearts to protect their young and stand up too people, cows, tractors etc sometimes thousands of times bigger than they are. It's funny when you put 400 cows in a paddock and the whole paddock is eaten the next morning except for one little circle of perfectly preserved grass... where the Plover is Haha

    First two kills for the new 22-250, 100m for mum on the nest and Dad at 200m. The resounding thud and explosion of Dad at 200m was very impressive. Kids are inside so wont wander off to get pictures even though I'm very keen to see.
