The 12th UK South-East "iPads for Everyone!!" Thread (All Welcome)

Actually, you could be right about the .22 - I think he had ear defenders on.

It's right up in the corner near the top of the hill before you go into Wingham.

Oh dear, for those of you who happened to catch the news at lunchtime or may possibly catch it again twice tonight, they caught me with my concentrate face on the still!!

Note to self: don't poke tongue out when taking photos on the BBC.

A couple of times over the last few weeks I have driven past Wingham Wildlife Park and seen a chap lying prone in full camo gear with a rifle (I'm guessing air rifle) shooting the wild rabbits that I always enjoy seeing on my drive home.

They live at the top end of a triangle of grass that is next to the car park and they've been there for years, including a black rabbit that's always with them. I've not seen them or the black one in the last few days...I was kind of annoyed that a "Wildlife" park would condone the shooting of local "wildlife"...

I always think to myself that I ought to go and try and get some pics of them...not going to happen now!

Sounds like it could be more conservation than cull keeping the numbers down much the same as you'd do deer. Keep on top of numbers and they won't be to much of a problem if they were trying to get rid of the rabits they would block the holes and gas them.

One from last nights visit to Bracknell. This was the main area that the firebrigade were settled at the swinley forest area of the fire.

Can't wait to get home now - two weeks is long enough. Sick of Asia but kinda like HK. Early start tomorrow for my flight to Shanghai then late night flight home. Got a few shots from Victoria Peak in HK and a few from the Star Ferry but need to upload then to my home machine before posting. Lens was well fogged up so nit sure they are any good.

Might be worth reporting incase it's someone just enjoying some target practice and no one has challenged him.

Made me laugh too

Evening all.

Being into rifling myself i can assure you that a .22 pcp Air rifle is more than capable at taking down a rabbit at 60 yards. The shooter may be using ear defenders to reduce the destractions.

As to shooting .22 rimfire. He will need permission from someone to shoot the Land. It is breeding time for rabbits, and Mixi will soon be working its way round. With the Animals at Wingham, they wont want it around.

Anyway. Who's doing what this evening. Looking forward to a good car clean tomorrow.
