I really look forward to your videos Robin, I've been dealing with cancer since the middle of 2017 so haven't been out shooting at all since then. Seeing you out in the countryside sort of takes me there. Best wishes, Geoff.
@@emmanueludoh77 Thank you my friend, it's a continuing battle, I'm very soon going into hospital for yet another operation as the cancer has reared it's ugly head again.
Indeed. The farm is involved in several programs to boost song birds and other interesting mammals. The habitat work has taken a lot of time and investment. I’ve been asked to assist there by thinning out the greys and the jays.
one of the things we do around here pretty regularly is to thin the squirrels out. They are very destructive to both feeders as well as our 2 story log home. But here in Arkansas, I would have to really check the blind out before I got in for snakes LOL. We also remove several other kinds of pests as well at our feeders. Let's just say that our big cat eats very well. You guys across the pond are more patient on your shots but with the lower pressure you pretty much have to be. Well done Sir
New research in the UK has found that the eastern grey squirrel can be a reservoir for Lyme's disease, any ticks feeding on an infected squirrel can then pass the disease on to other squirrels, dogs, cats and humans. They predict there will be 2000 to 3000 new cases diagnosed next year.
Ate Hoeksma I kill big animals for money too. Am I proud of killing? No. Am I proud that a bigger number of animals benefit from it than die though. Yes.
I understand how the rats are a pest. Can someone explain why the squirrels in this particular location are considered pests? How about the jay? Thanks.
lee gorman - thank you for explaining. In the United States, I am used to seeing grey squirrels all over the place. So in the UK, they are considered an invasive/non-native species? As for the jays, was that a femal one? The ones I am used to here are all blue. I am not sure, but I believe starlings are non-native here but I could be wrong. How about the foxes he hunts? Are they a nuisance to farmers. Like the old saying ‘a fox in the hen house’?
Why did you shoot the bird, invasive pest, food, feathers, trophy? I'm no PETA snowflake, just wondering because I am not familiar with that species or your side of the pond. I certainly shoot my fair share of English sparrows here in the states, DAMN those birds!
It’s a very aggressive nest robbing bird called a Jay. Super cleaver and alert most of the time. On this particular farm they have a program of reintroducing a species of bird. So each one of these out the way is a bonus.
As always, great shooting Mr F. Using the sub-12 sporter in 177, brilliant kit! Have you had chance to try a Konus telescopic? Can thoroughly recommend. Keep safe.
No. I’m afraid there are no reds in my area. Although one of the largest estates is looking to have a re-introduction program for them. But before that we need to clear the area as much as possible of the greys.
Just saw a PETA UK scientist criticizing the recommendation to gene edit gray squirrels to help control them. If there is concern about the survival of the species please let everyone know that they are doing well in North America so no concern with extinction. Or you can put packages together for us to come over there and rent top of line Air Arms and deal with them the old fashioned way. 👍
Brilliant video mate - you've got a quality set up there. Well done on that Jay. They're pretty birds even if they're vermin. You visited at night? I bet you've got a few rats helping themselves to that feeder too.
Yeah we’ve been passed it while out foxing. I could see a few mice about through the thermal. I stuck my hand in a few months ago to check the level of feed and the was a mouse in there! That made me jump lol.
We have big problems with craws in the cities, their sourroundings and elswhere. Song birds almost dissapeared from parks because craws eat them and their eggs, often attack blackbirs, pigeons and even people. Hunters don't bother waisting ammunition because population is too big and they can't go to cities. A few times i shot close to the flock of craws in suburbs, if this was repeated 2-3 times they didn't return to the same place for a few years! But if somebody called police i would be in big troubles, so i don't do this anymore. That's because hunting with airguns is very illegal here. We used to have well developed gun culture where weapons were nothing strange, but since collaps of socialism it is everything else but a hobby or sport. Police thriwes, army which did no harm since ww2 is weak... I find it interesting how relaxed airgun laws England has compared to many ex socialist/communist countries.
Just wondering why you took a Jay. Are they an invasive species? I'm from the u.s. so I don't know if they have a season or are on a list of problem animals
Are the Jays and introduced species that requires elimination, or are there other reasons, we have to deal with starlings and Eurasian doves here in the states
There a prolific nest robbing bird that predate on young song birds and ground nesting English partridges. Kill one of these and save several hundred birds in the same area.
Robin, do you think putting that camera that's on the tripod in a more hidden area or maybe backing it up to a tree so it's more silhouetted might help it to blend in and help bring them to the feeder?
Yes. It gets them to a location that is safe and allows them to stop twitching while they stop to feed. It also helps support other wildlife in the woods through the winter.
The Jay is protected under The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981,totally unnecessary to kill it,what the hell is one bird going to achieve? predators of 'song birds' or not
They hammer the songbird eggs mate. I thinned the numbers a little on one permission and the following year the songbirds were a little recovered. I know its anecdotal coming from one persons experience, but that's just what Jay"s do. It's a pity, because they do look nice. I wouldn't want them all gone mate, no more than I would the Magpie. 👍
Lol... no probs... loads of people ask the same question; I think it's because they are such nice looking birds, it's hard not to feel a bit guilty thinning them out. Daft as it sounds, I always feel a big crap hitting the brilliant white ferrals... go figure 😳
I'd like to start despatching grey squirrels to help the reds. Do I need a license or certificate of training to do this legaly or can I just go out there on personal or privatly owned land with permission to despatch them?
As has already been stated. You don’t need a license. Just an accurate rifle and yourself able to hold good groupings at the required distance. Some form of insurance would also be a sensible idea. Plus, make sure they don’t get wasted. All my shot squirrels go in to the food chain. Either animal or human consumption.
They are actually pretty good eating. I make jerky with them. Cleaning is quite easy with the right technique. Look up "1 minute squirrel clean" on youtube. Something close to that. Good luck
Hiya buddy. Are you aware of ticks and lyme disease? I say as you are in prime tick locations often. Its a devastating disease. Unfortunately I know. Read up if you dont already know. Very important to get the awareness out there.
I shoot a lot of things but only if there numbers are high i will shoot foxes if the Causing trouble it's like you shoot them for fun and I dont get that
I know you're in a different country But, why do you kill jays? They are protected where I live. In fact, until I saw you kill it, I had never even heard of anyone even trying to kill a jay.
Robin Foxer, astonishing! In the Netherlands you’re not even allowed to go after rats, hence the enormous plague now existing in dutch cities ‘cause the local gouvernements are restricted in the use of pest control poisons. Regulations are biting in it’s own ass!
Not hard to understand at all. I’ll sit in a meadow for hours just watching game. Being a hunter doesn’t translate into murderer. I’m out there to feed myself, challenge myself, and heal. That’s the element we’ve chosen to call savage and disown. I won’t.
It depends pal. I shot 4 in the space of 2 hrs last week, along with 2 magpies and 5 squirrels, all in one short session! The Jay's decimate the songbird nests and are every bit as bad as the Magpie; don't let the flash of blue make you think otherwise. I wouldn't wipe out all of 'any' specie, it's about balance; but honestly, there are no shortage of Jay's about, which is exactly why they are named as a pest species on the current general licence. Both the Magpie and the Jay are nice looking birds, but it's not about dealing with them on the basis of looks. I mean greys are nice enough to look at aren't they... bonus is, they taste good too👍
Its all about management and ballance in your area, where I am there are not many jays so don't shoot them, but there are lots of magpies so they are fair game.
How about some more technical shots. Those shots are right in the open and you take soooooo long to pull the trigger. Take them out while they are in the move or something
Dude, at 4 minutes, you speak about the sound of the impact, with the word "listen", then proceed to turn up the stock music. I ask you to consider that the loud, robotic, repetitive music only detracts from the overall quality of the video.
Who ever said it got shot through boredom? It got shot because Jays predate heavily on song birds and were are creating habitats and feeder stations to help encourage the song bird population on the farm.
John Seabrook each time there own I suppose. We have a program of rearing English partridge on the farm. Therefore any threat needs reducing. I leave them be on the other farms. Probably why it’s taken me so long to shoot em.
Robin Foxer we have problem Magpies who constantly scare of the smaller birds, but am unwilling to shoot them, only because I have a parrot and I just can’t do it. But I totally understand the need to control certain bird species, by farmers, fruit growers etc
Paul Leather well then you’ll know how damaging the Jay is too the song bird population. On the farm I shot this particular Jay, we have a program to reintroduce a healthy population of English partridge.
Jays are nest predators in the breeding season but they have co-existed with their prey for millennia in standard predator / prey relationships. Shooting Jays requires a licence so, unless this person held a licence, they have broken the law. Unfortunately, many of those involved in the shooting industry seem to think the law only applies to them if they get caught! Jays are virtually zero threat to grouse: for one thing Jays are predominantly woodland birds and grouse are predominantly mountain and moorland birds: it is not too often that their paths will cross. Interesting that he is "trying to breed a population of British grouse". Red Grouse are a native wild species. They don't need human help to breed. The only reasons humans want to "help them breed" is so that they can exceed the carrying capacity of the local environment, so there are many thousands of them to be killed in the autumn. It brings in big bucks for the landowners - and throws the odd bone to a few country folk (but not those of us who live in the countryside and love nature, not slaughter - which is a surprisingly large proportion - definitely a majority). This is the driving force behind the criminal persecution of protected birds and mammals on and around shooting estates, and the reason the RSPB has called for licensing of these estates, and why others have called for a complete ban on large bag driven shoots.@@TeamFoxer
