Seen 11 magpies sitting on our lane the other day, first time I'd seen so many together. Magpies IMO are the hardest bird to shoot, you walk into the field and there gone!

Grey squirrels are increasing as well, in the 2 fields at the back of the house in the last few months if shot 20+ and there still there.

As for crows and I'll throw in pigeons, there is a massive numbers around kildare.

Very true - the local conservancy(just over the border in Wicklow) here has trapped an increadible 300 hoodies near the lake since March. Appears they are attracted from miles around by the mussels exposed by low water levels. On my place in Mayo I've manged to shoot and trap alot of Hoodies near the coast at the same crack.
