Seeing a rat blasted by a shotgun in Kilmallock is probably the highlight of my life. The worst thing though is when you see a rat swimming across a river or canal and youâve no gun or dog with you. Remember doing a bit of strimming of some heavy briars and long grass and stuff with a Stihl brushcutter anyway I put down the thing for a while and went 30 yards yonder towards an area of short grass. What the fcuk do I see only my three cunts of rats, not a bother on them, just walking along through the grass away from where I was strimming. Obviously reckoned this noisy thing was bad news and had started an evacuation of the whole fucking family. Bastards.
Iâve located a hide out for a nest of mice at home. Itâs under a small pile of timber blocks at the side of the shed. Iâm thinking of moving them this evening and seeing if the terrier will do her stuff. Iâve no doubting that she will considering she nearly devoured off one of my chicks last weekend. My father also saw their cat carrying a kitten, minus a head, across the lawn over the weekend. The terrier had been locked into the same garden a few hours earlier :unsure:
Got out fishing this evening for the first time this year. No better way to spend a fine evening. Caught one decent sized fella, and in true fisherman fashion lost a monster fish right at my feet
Trout and Salmon fishing is poor this year up these parts, water levels shocking low.
Levels are still decent after a wettish end to May. The small stretch that fished well this evening is normally no good, and I only threw a line in as I passing. Ended up hooking 3 fine sized trout in it, two of them way above the norm for the river.
Iâve never seen as many foxes as I have in the past week.
Iâve also seen two squirrels in separate locations over the past few days, despite never having seen them in the wild in Ireland (bar a few up around the botanic gardens)
Grey or red squirrels? The grey ones are disease carrying bastards.
The grey disease carrying bastards. All they have to do is get into the vicinity of a red squirrel and the diseases the grey carries will kill the red one.
I think I saw a red squirrel once, years ago in Curraghchase but Iâm not sure.
I was in the Zoo at the weekend, first time in 10 years Iâd say. I can safely say I saw 15 grey squirrels lose around the place. I havenât seen a squirrel in 5 years or so before that.
Stop the presses âJulio Geordio Spots Animals At The Zoo Shockerâ
:lol:
They were lose around the place you spoon.
Great weather for making maggots. 2 lambs were biting the arses off themselves yesterday evening. A drop of jeyes fluid did the job grand.
Is Cahermee on today?
Rabbits in the lawn, Starlings shitting all over the house, neighbours cunting cats running amuck around house, crows eating the barley, and weaned calves roaring the fucking village down all nightâŚ
Oh⌠there are flies stuck in every velux in the house.
Fcuk nature.
The grey crow and the grey squirrel are our enemies and there should be a bounty on both.
Get a shotgun, if only to shoot the rabbits itâll scatter everything. I was moving hay at the weekend and found a nest of kittens. All I know is theyâre not great swimmers.
Iâve got a nest of swallows in one of the outhouses.
I went in yesterday evening and one of them was learning to fly, but wasnât very good at it. Flapping about on the floor.
I noticed this morning that the cat had had taken up residence in the shed, so unless that poor swallow got real good at flying real quick, then Iâd say heâs toast.

The scrawny wee shits.
Suddenly frightened, for days I sadly hung
Round the yard, watching the three sogged remains
Turn mealy and crisp as old summer dung
