    Lol..thanks, I'll remember this. These Mynahs send me batty with their screeching, reminds me of an ex. Easily get birds nests, heaps of shrubs round here.
    I've shot a few of these, to me they seem super tough birds, a solid chest shot seems to just stun them for a few minutes then they get up..so I get them again. Can't figure it out why, the air rifle kills Blackbirds and Starlings instantly? All the birds I shoot I bury under our citrus trees...bumper crop this year!

    An hour on a couple of lifestyle blocks on Saturday night with the 22.

    Backsteaks recovered from them all. The rest went dog tucker.

    All but one were bucks, so in the main, the doe rabbits must have been in the dens with newborns. The one doe shot had kittens inside her.

    Shot a magpie yesterday and within seconds of it being tipped over a Harrier pounced on it.
    All the magpie's mates started dive bombing him after he tucked into it.
    He must have thought bugger this and just picked it up and flew off out of sight with it.

    Been lugging the Hornet around the farm to see if it happens again but the magpies have been quiet.

    Just got back from the Ruahine Ranges bloody wet up there again.

    Decided to take the dog and big rifle up the track before locking the big cal up as it was better weather down here on the lowland.

    Another trip to the apple orchard tonight, another 20 odd rabbits shot, including this inky black one.

    I'd seen him on my first shoot of this property but never got a shot at him, he's been lucky in the past with holes thru both ears.
