a technique to remember...

A great tale just through from Jim - a chap called Robbie Walker was on a fishing trip from Dunnet Head, Scrabster at the weekend. There were about 30 Bonxies following the boat and he noticed 1 of the birds was ringed so their attention switched from catching fish, to catching birds. In the next half hour he manged to catch five Bonxies including the one with the ring which proved to be 20 yrs old. The method? Hold a fish in the air with one hand and grab with the other. So it's not just swans it works with then...
