We don't get magpies up here, I wonder if it's too cold for them?

thats because you still have gamekeepers
on the estates

 

[zeppelin builder]

Nope.

It is a device to help me because my knees are knackered and also my finger joints are getting worse so can't lift/grip things as before.

Makes it much easier to get the cylinders into the back of the car as I have a handle to grip rather than just trying to hold onto the rounded base of the cylinder.

the paint on them things is super slippy
do you not have a wee bottle to transfer it into for wee jobs , how about a diving air bottle or the small argon one
i knew a lad that used to do it

do you remember the dome bottomed oxy bottles tthey were a,nightmare for a 16 year old lad just out school trying to change over,

These aren't that big, they are just the 30l 300 bar one so nearly as much Argon as the standard size but probably only 2/3 the height.
It is mainly when I go to collect them that I made this for but don't have a smaller cylinder anyway and not sure I fancy messing about decanting from 300bar..

Mhhhh, not convinced by that. I'm sure they have better things to do with their time/duties than shoot magpies - maybe @Migmac could throw some light on the subject? Where my brother is just outside Edinburgh there are plenty about.

As I understand from a friend of mine whose a keeper, their workload is seasonal, a bit like farming in that they do specific things at certain times of the year. Pest control as part of gamekeeping is all about reducing numbers of pest species at critical times of the year to help both reared game and wildlife survive and flourish. Other things occur throughout the year such as heather burning and management, access improvements, building/maintaining pens, etc.

All part of vermin control. I don’t have magpies in my area, would control them if I did. Bad news for song birds of you have Magpies

 

[vwmark]

Laid a hedge, badly so I can final

ly repair my lean to and move some of the rubbish out the workshop. Would have been quicker but the clutch spring broke on my Makita chainsaw after 5 mins.

Do you have any idea why they haven't spread this far North then? I can't believe it's because every single one has been picked off as they fly up country? We literally never see one up here.

that will be because they go for shiny things and no self respecting Scotsman would drop anything shiny such as a coin...........

more birds of prey? less suitable nesting sites?

i only suggest these because I've seen redkites catching them, and know they only nest in hawthorne trees around here - not in pine
