It seems it is nest chucking out time of year: my birdfeeder and garden have had so many squirrel visits in recent weeks I realised it was time to re-engage.
3 squirrels stopped in two days. All young. Also prowling the garden is a big female. Never holds still long enough...My guess is the three unwary young had been her litter this year.
The wife bought a new squirrel trap. So far, it is as effective as the one it was supposed to replace. Good thing the HW100 is shooting true as ever.

I use the simplest cage trap going, put under a bird feeder or table or tree they like, walnuts in shell at the back. Peanuts, monkey nuts, maize, bird food.
If they dont get caught quick, lock the trap open and let them feed. If they still wont trap you have now got a point they will play with the walnut because they cant get it out.

Not done any shooting for a while.
Got the fishing tackle ready for some pollack off the rocks.
And just a few mins ago a humingbird hawk moth flew in the window!
May seems very early

Good work Sd.
Having dusted off the HW100, I became aware that, once fully charged, the rifle was losing pressure ever so slowly over time. Even with no shots fired.
To isolate whether leak was the cylinder or rifle, I detached filled cylinder from rifle. Sure enough, cylinder lost pressure over time apart from rifle.
Following Fairy liquid bubble detection detailed by YT vids, I found a slow-growing bubble on the tiny hole at the regulator end of the cylinder. O rings now ordered!
