    Dundee, as soon as the high country gets a bit cooler, and the birds start storming the vineyards, the Falcons arrive ... love watching them hunting the birds through the vines ...

    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

    He might look better on a log in the estuary - but he has become a frequent visitor - nice place to dry out on the roof after wading Name: IMG_6153 2.JPG Views: 240 Size: 454.8 KB

    During wet weather - I often wonder how the birds survive - a couple of weeks back it was raining heavily and I spotted these two sitting under a walkway beside a cattle loading ramp - clever birds staying out of the rain - there were eight tiny chicks under Mum and Dad - I opened the car door for a better shot and missed the best chick pictures as they moved off - but they were back an hour later when I went past - clever birds!

    Have had them come see what's going on whilst hunting, follow you for 50m or so then bugger off to where they came from. Bloody spooky when they fly past silently
