He'd call me "Homo", probably... he gets a bit emotional recently...
I need to watch what I'm saying...

Not from what I saw last weekend. He bashed up a tree with his truck.

Pretty sure I am breeding pheasants – but I still haven’t seen any – wish they would hurry up
I wander round my 30 acre patch and flush cock birds all day long but the hens have certainly gone to ground – pretty sure I heard a couple calling their chicks yesterday so they are out there somewhere
I checked my 20 rat bait stations on Saturday – six blocks in each station but not one single block of bait was gone – perfect timing as the ground nesting birds (pheasant, quail and kingfisher are nesting now)
The quail are all marching round in pairs – so they are up to something – wish they would hurry up
I have got a couple of cats in the last few weeks – a huge black bastard yesterday with golf balls between his legs – I reckon one of them is worth ten rats – the only problem with the holiday period coming is our lifestyle patch is on a highway and not far from a parking area that is not far from a beach resort – hard to believe but some holiday makers take their cat on holiday and leave it at the parking area down on the highway – but the cats seem to like Chef cat food when they get to my cage
I like the look of the chicks in the brooders – I was going to purchase some but managed to get the natural process going well by killing predators
Good luck with your breeding programs guys – fantastic that people are putting that sort of investment into the hunting environment

You need to mix something in that stops them from regurgitating, otherwise it doesn't work

There is this stuff that works wonders on cats, forgot the name off hand but can remember its about 40gr and made of lead

Kingfishers nest on the ground? Out of it!

Antifreeze, just be a lazy bastard and after you clean out your radiator leave it lying around in a container

Pretty sure all the ones round my lifestyle patch do Gibo – but some may nest off the ground
I was at a neighbours place at home here in Te Puna on Sunday – he has a low cut face bank beside his driveway – riddled with holes and a pair of very watchful birds keeping an eye on me 20m away
I have an old rotten rock quarry on our patch – the banks are riddled with maybe 50 years of nesters – all my cut faces on farm tracks and our access road are riddled with holes
Lovely to walk past the holes when the chicks are hungry – they are screaming for Mum and Dad to come back - just think how easy it would be for a predator to visit them down their hole

The small hole in the middle has recently been drilled – you can see the fresh dirt in line with his feet


This hole shows Mum and Dad’s track marks – in and out all day long


This big hole is one that has been exposed with slip or a machine cut – shows how big the hole is inside – maybe 200mm dia


I have three bait stations within 100m of most of the Kingfisher nesting activity – I love Kotare and hate rats

Cool man! Learn something everday!

I have one nesting around here at the mo. The little fucker starts up around 5am outside our bedroom window. Perfectly timed, 'beep, beep, beep". Bad things happen to early birds outside bedroom windows....
