Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
All guns are loud mate - wear ear plugs or ear defenders (muffs) or you WILL end up with a hearing problem
Yup, the 20 bore is big enough for birds on the wing (which I don't rate a .410 for) but small enough for women and younger guys

Red's suggestion of a 20 bore is a good one...and make sure you brace it firmly into your shoulder to absorb the recoil upon pulling the tigger. If you're too hesitant and loose about it, the kickback will be worse....once you've fired one a few times and your confidence increases you won't even notice the business of recoil as you concentrate on swinging and pulling the trigger at the right time Get stuck in and you'll enjoy it... 
hello leon,
just make sure you pull it into your shoulder, and lean into the shot.
If your uncle runs a shoot he should be able to put you right.

Sorry I have not got any antler

hello leon,
i have posted some more things to you this morning,they should be with you soon. as for lighter cartridges if they are anything like tracer cartrideges i wouldnt get any until you have got shall we say proficient. then they might, and i do mean might be of use to help you get onto target. but do not start with them. trust to you own instinct and keep both eyes open. bring the gun up to where you are looking and do no aim. i think you will find that you are much better than you think.

Hi Leon
You might like to visit this site, it is full of information on birds that might come to your garden and bird table.

If you click on a bird type on the list on the left it gives you a page all about that type of bird and also a sound file of its call.
Here is a short guide to feeding garden birds.

Is there much you don't eat Torjus?
They are a pest species in a lot of ways mind you - huge flocks of them around where I used to live had to be "thinned out" periodically

I don't eat their feathers, if that is what you mean...
Leon,
You may want to check out the RSPB site at http://www.rspb.org.uk/ and be involved in this years Birdwatch survey.
In this months RSPB Mag it shows some common birds we may see in the garden, the only one I've not seen from the list is a Starling!
However we have had Red Kites flying over and a Sparrowhawk in the garden which makes up for it.
Enjoy your birdwatching.
