    I am thinking of blacking out the background ( black acrylic paint ) then staining the bird with antique gel, if I painted it I would lose detail

    we had a most excellent day rabbiting today with the birds taking four rabbits and 5 getting away but not much the capture as the hunt watching birds of prey hunting in a great enviroment taking a few but seeing the chase is all what it is about. Still alot of ground cover around so some bolt holes missed but there is always another day and with a rabbit each for the birds and one each for me and my partner the day is complete, no lost birds and thunder behaved herself and flew to the fist all day killing 3 out the four and harriet the baby harris taking the the 1 not bad for its first time out tofur she did have a go at pheasant to but i dived into a rhubarb field never to be seen again and im glad she didnt take it as my game licence is out of date which has given a kick up the ass to get it renewed befor next time out and sorry folks i forgot to pack the camera in the excitment of first hunt of the season. Next time

    Got a call from the mews where i keep my birds someone broke in last night and has executed my birds and my friends birds they all been shot with air rifle it was to late when my friend got there when the alarm went off,all we can see on the camera is some one in cammo gear with full head cover. We got the police in and they dont seem to be interesed as on officer said only birds i have reported him this morning those birds cost over £2500 we trying to think who we p****** off but havent got a clue who would carry out such an attack thing is we were not able to insure the birds due to the fantastic ammount required even though we had cameras and alarm they wanted to much, more than the birds cost. Sorry to bring such sad news but i cant afford to buy new birds so probably wont be calling in anymore
