IN THE FIELD
Summertime is typically when I receive phone calls regarding problem corvids that need to be dealt with. Despite these calls being few and far between since moving to Scotland, a good friend of mine, a headkeeper on the east coast, called me to ask if I fancied having a go at shooting some of his crows. He explained that a few problem birds had managed to avoid his traps, and the opportunity was there if I wished to try to track them down. As I am always keen to make the most of such chances and never like to shy away from a challenge, I arranged to head over the following day.
