Grey squirrels are spreading to the north of England and wiping out the native red squirrels.

Typical comment from Animal Aid, clueless idiots.
We are lucky that we still have Reds here but the Greys need constant culling.

Eight in the end to the air rifle.
It also had four pigeons and three crows.
Amazing bit of kit.

A couple off my purpose built feeder with sand box backstop opposite parents farm on Monday with CZ 452 .22lr. Used whole grain maize as bait. Think it more satisfying taking these destructive critters out than rabbits tbh. But then don't have too much rabbit grazing trouble on farm since railway banks have been cleared!

Whacked a few this week. And a crow or two..

Will have to start on them again myself after managing to get the barn owl box up for the big house , I know its late but they were late last year before the tree rats robbed them

 

[Pine Marten]

First one in a while! Off the middle fence, from the back window, resting against the frame.

Here in the backyard I thought I had 4 of them, once the opportunity presented itself I got rid those, since yesterday I now have done 16, things have slowed down here now, I thought I had nothing else but two appeared out of nowhere and I was ready.

I normally don't take photos, but saw this thread and decided on a more dramatic scene.
If anyone would like some help, I'd be happy to come along with my air-rifle, as I have my doubts any further intruders will come along any time soon.

I came home home today to carnage!
After filling the bird feeder/ squirrel bait station yesterday, today one had dismantled it and the lot was gone!
Ive now rebuilt it with a stronger bolt.

I'll be ready for it, the little....

On a positive note the black birds are doing better in my garden since baiting and shooting the squirrels on a regular basis last summer, as in as soon as one turns up it gets drilled!

A few on Sunday morning off one of my feeders:

....then a Brucey bonus one on my way back to my car:

I went to fill one of my feeders in a different wood I've not been able to get to for a while - to find it had been repurposed:



Given that my feeder is made from an 81mm mortar round metal ammo box, that is the nest equivalent of Fort Knox

(......and I'm glad I checked after taking the lid off before just tipping in about 20kg of maize.... )

Squirrel feeder can wait. Good luck Mummy Bird

10 this morning and one on me nuts int garden spotted by my granddaughter.
I used the HMR in the field, they dig up the sown maize.
The one in the garden got a 10.3 gn jsb.

 

[JDeeres2]

4 this morning for me at feeder using finnfire HMR with hornady v-max 17 grain.... didn't want to post pictures as a wee bit gory to look at over breakfast!

18 this morning. All offhand due to forgetting the tripod. Actually I shot better than yesterday!
18 squirrels and a bonus magpie for 20 shots!
Ranges from 10 to near 100 yards.
