Then gives evidence about them taking on hawks/falcons possibly suggesting he has seen them do that which I have seen so believe what he has heard.

I have watched a pair of falcons take on a harrier.
Fantastic to watch.
Harrier hit the after burners after looseing a lot of feathers.:thumbup:

Watched a falcon smoke a starling in mid flight on Friday, what an awesome sight!
If you shoot Plovers, you would need a justification story. I mean, otherwise, why would you do it?
Actually the fact they are no longer protected is a clue to how bloody cosy they are getting here!
Why shoot a magpie? Why shoot a possum? Why shoot a rabbit?
Shoot them all i say.
While your busy doing that your only goin to get the odd silly spiker so more for me !:D

210 vld on Magies sorts them out bang flop hahaha !!
spur winged plovers are the birds most hazardous to any grass air strip causing bird strikes:sick:
I enjoy protecting our aviation and have done so numerous times;)
get dive bommed by them or have watch your 1YO nephew get dive bommed and you quickly gain a dislike for them
ive had em at ellesmere hang around the maimai dive bombing decoys and actually putting ducks and geese off .generally i'll ignore them in the hope they'llf ind a better patch somewhere else and normally they do but its the odd occasion when Ive had it up to the back teeth with the squawking bastards and to relieve the stress and make my point its gun to shoulder and hey ho heres ma message!!

Plover met a 55gr soft point today... Oops! :)
I can't get the sound to work for some reason, but I videoed during my walk around the base of the hill the other night. Three Tui were having a little sing off in the trees around me, then one decided to crack out his best Plover alert cry impression. Then about seven Tui chimed in! It was really cool, they obviously have been out the back of the paddocks and picked up the squawk of a plover.
Tui are amazing birds :) Jet was looking around for the plover to chase!
The Tui's at our place a fucking good at sounding like Tuis
Still sound like Tui's
I like plovers
no just like to sit and watch them go about their daily bizzo. I don't slay everything!!
