In the UK, the latest rules will be: 'All kept birds, not just poultry, will need to be registered with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA); the threshold number of birds kept requiring registration will be reduced from 50 to one; and all keepers of birds will be mandated to review their records annually. There will be no requirement for birds such as budgerigars, parrots, or canaries that are kept in a birdhouse within a dwelling to be registered. The implementation of these new requirements will be in two phases. The mandatory registration of all bird keepers will apply from 1 September 2024 in Scotland and 1 October 2024 in England and Wales, with the mandatory updates from 12 months after those dates.' I see that Tony has already supplied an answer. I certainly won't be going to get a licence for just four. Jamie 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM42 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I think I've worked out runway numbers the easy way. If it is above 18 at one end then subtract 18 from the number to get the opposite direction. If it's below, add 18. Thus 33 becomes 15 and 15 becomes 33. 07 becomes 25 and so one My head hurts less now. As for the drift of magnetic North, the rounding the heading allows for some variation.

rockershovel Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The drift of Mag North over time is an issue in mine surveying. Much 18th and early 20th century underground surveying was carried out using a device called a Miners Dial, basically a magnetic compass with alidades and the resulting observations charted, rather than plotted in coordinate form. This could result in historic plans becoming significantly misaligned over time. A tragedy resulted in West Cornwall where miners at Wheal Owles broke through into much older workings which were flooded. 10 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie As has been intimated earlier, the reason for the registration is to be able to monitor and in some cases control the spread of avian flu. I bumped into CoastalView this morning at the BRMC running day at Llandrinio. Chris was running a rather fine 4 mm scale model of the Standard 9F 'Evening Star', (a Cardiff based loco!) and a matching train of tank wagons. He, like many others on TNM seems to be up to his eyeballs in non railway activity. I had to come home early as Nyda decided to host a birthday tea for a neighbour tomorrow, and for some unfathomable reason, I'm the one expected to do the cleaning and tidying in the conservatory and sitting room. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When crossing open ground (or roads) they push their babies out first to see if it safe (free from predators) to cross. I had been thinking that this might be due to the number of offspring they have, but Meerkat pregnancies result in litters of only three to seven pups (Basically there are two types of reproductive strategies. For r-selected species, reproduction results in a large number of offspring that receive little care from parents and exhibit a high mortality rate. For K-selected species, reproduction results in only a few offspring which all receive a higher level of care and have a higher chance of survival). So Meerkats are obviously k-selected, given the low number of offspring. Perhaps the infant Meerkats pushed out as bait doesn’t smell “right”. They may be social animals, but they aren’t nice social animals. The Wiki description of the Meerkat shows some VERY unpleasant behaviours - even in an animal. Just a thought: I wonder if scrotes have a r-selected reproductive strategy? 9 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
