hoping to get down on wed night or thusday just have to see when no work inif you ever hook a bird again or anyone on the site does, don't be frightened, get a hold of it gently by the neck and hold it close to your body, if possible cover their eyes, they will calm down and you will be able to remove any gear attached. We don't want the twitchers having anything to complain about.
there wont be a next time l hope went to get my towel but would not let me near my box and it did manage to fly away it pecked at my line and cut it clean

in the past when a have caughtg gull, cormorant, or whatever a usaully have been lucky enough for some kind angler that has known wh at to do with out being scared,and your right jimmy a probably would've run a mile am terrified of them but a would not deliberatly hurt them, a even put the weavers back without harming them
