my dad has the advantage that there are no more houses the back of him, the garden is failrly short ( about 5 m ) and there is a steep bank just beyond the fence line.
this makes it the perfect shooting gallery for squirrels..
quite often he sits with the patio door open and a loaded air rifle next to his seat..
7 confirmed kills this year, and 4 that limped off but were never seen again...
gotta break them off the branch's first
forgot to put out fresh water,,,will do that tomorrow....I put bread,nuts bcaon rind and half a packet of cream crackers and after a while the cream crackers had gone first? ...had a mixture of wood pigeons,starlings ,blackbirds and quite a few small fiches
I heard that if you hang your bird feeders with elastic bands it is very effective against squirels as they do not like the feeders to bounce around!
whats wrong with squirrels and pigeons?
Agreed, they are all Gods creatures and have to eat to survive.

Grey squirrels are not an indigenous species and are a menace. They wreak havoc on our native squirrel and bird population.
I watched a long tailed tit build its nest, lay eggs, incubate for a day or so only for one of those 'cute' grey rats to come along and rag everything.
I soooo wish i had kept my .22 Weihrauch.

nothing at all, in fact they taste great.. but you have to make sure that they aren't carrying any diseases....

The water freezes very quickly here. I drop a bit of anti-freeze in. (Joke)
I use a mix of feed with a very small amount of fat. The fat is not good for birds in large amounts.
