set up around 6.30am in light snow and set up about 20 decoys and 2 bouncers and sat and waited...wasnt long before they started coming in for there morning feed.
Shot 16 birds in the first hour, still had a problem with them feeding just
a bit too far away.
then i noticed that with the light snow on the rape my decoys wasnt easy
to see so i nipped home and brought back the magnet, clipped a couple
of woodies on it and straight away-back they came in a big way, not all coming in the pattern, but enough.
packed up at 12:45 due to rain with a grand old total of 51 pigeons and
a magpie.

A great time had by all! ;)

Ive not as yet managed to get a photo on any forum, ive tried imageshack, entered a username, (tried hunter baz once), then my personal password, managed to download the image I liked from my computer "my pictures" file, pressed "host it" & got "microsoft authentication failed", where am I going wrong, chaps? :)

Its so easy, let me try to explain,

find a site to host your pictures, for example http://tinypic.com/
upload your photo to this (you will see what i mean when your on the site) it will give you about 4 "links" to that picture,
copy the IMG one and when your on the forum replying or posting, see the code buttons above when your typing?
press the IMG button and abox will open on the top left -paste your link into it. when you have done that you will see the link and it should look something like [img..........*^%$..../img]

to test it instead of pressing "ADD REPLY" press PREVIEW POST instead and then you can check it works before you post it

if you get stuck let me know *aaaa*

fantastic pictures! looks like a great day you had! :D

(about the starlings &sparrows...i must state that this member is from the U.S.A )

sorry about that NFZ, its just that some english folk are not too happy about seeing shot starlings and sparrows (see off topic thread "just read this")

anyway, great pics! keep them coming *cheers*

This is a decent site for hosting your pictures http://photobucket.com/

the problem i recently had was the size of the picture i put on, as with noflyzone's pictures; they stretch out the forums original width

with photobucket you can reduce the size and they fit better. :)
