Already replied!

I find the BCUK magazine well worth the subscription. Paying £14 for a years subscription didn't phase me, but for some reason I keep resisting subscribing to the Bushcraft & Survival Skills magazine at £29. £15 more for only two extra issues!

Without (hopefully) upsetting Tony, can anyone comment on how the two magazines compare?

 

[leon-b]

i cant comment as i only get the bcuk mag but i have to say that i love it, i like the fact that it includes, articles,skills,reviews etc
well done tony

it can take a while for the birds to realise the food source but once they do aslong as you keep the feeders stocked theyl be there all the time and return the year after. Some birds are cautious and dont like being exposed they like to have some cover around the feeders to land on before they go to the table/feeder small branches and bushes etc
they fly on to this then look around to check for cats etc* at least i think thats why they do it* then jump in get some food and there back onto the surrounding branches anyway give it a bit of time im sure theyl find it soon

 

[leon-b]

thanks, there is cover nearby, i gues they are just cautious

that sounds good try also scattering a few bits of bread on the floor and table. birds love cheese, crackers,raisins just some little crumbs of it about they love it. I also find out of all the seeds they seem to like sunflower seeds the most. The birds in our garden have also been known to eat bacon lol but definatly try some bread and cheese, crackers crumbled up etc

 

[leon-b]

ok i will scatter some bread before i go to school tommorow

[Thrym]

[leon-b]

i just spoke to my parents and they said that my nan had spoke to them about me getting a gun, they said if i behave at school that they would allow me to get one and keep it at my uncles
it would have to be a shotgun but i dont want anything that comes back on my shoulder hard as i am a bit worried about that.
yippppppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeee

Try a 20 bore if you get the chance mate - its a good gun for those with a lighter frame
