Blow those hunting horns! This week we are mouflon shooting and calling geese. We are on a 25000-acre hunting estate outside Berlin as the guests of sports optics manufacturer Zeiss enjoying driven mouflon, wild boar and deer, with all the pomp and ceremony that a top German hunting trip affords. We are also in Easter Ross, Scotland, where Countryside Alliance director of shooting David Taylor is out after pinkfoot and greylag geese. Теги:huntingshootinguk
How to put a scope on a rifle (and then go and shoot a fox with it); how to handle a big-bag partridge day at the mighty Challacombe shoot on Exmoor with just a .410 or 28-bore in your hands (badly); how to shoot pheasants straighter with expert Mike Yardley on the beautiful Mornacott Estate in Devon; and how, if you are an Oxfordshire lady, you can enjoy a lovely day's shooting with your girlfriends. That's what's on the menu in this week's Fieldsports Britain, the best weekly TV show about hunting in the UK. Actually, the only one...

The Warrener, driven partridges, driven rats, and our competition to find Britain's biggest rat. Roy Lupton uses everything from chainsaw smoke to Chinese takeaways to bring rats to his shotguns, airguns, terriers and blokes with spades. Meanwhile, a viewer from Hartlepool has sent in a picture of a rat that measures 18in from head to tail, which has inspired us to launch our Rat Attack Weekend, with the prize of a BSA Meteor Mk7 worth £185 for whoever sends the picture of the biggest rat by Monday 26th September 2011. Then we are with the legend that is the Warrener, reviewing his new foxshooting DVD. And, rather grander, we follow an English gameshot from brushing up on his partridge-shooting skills at Shalden Shooting School in Devon to facing the real thing at Catton Hall in Derbyshire.

www.euronews.com This rather unusual looking car can reach speeds of up to 180 kilometres an hour but that is not what makes it special. All is revealed when it unfurls it propellors; this car can also fly. The Personal Air and Land Vehicle or PAL-V is a gyrocopter that can both fly and is allowed on the road. So what do you need to drive this machine? Robert Dingemanse, CEO and founder of Dutch company PAL-V, said: "A normal drivers licence. And for flying a personal or private pilot's licence and that's something you get in around 20 to 30 hours worth of lessons. So it's pretty easy in a gyrocopter. It's a gyrocopter and that's the easiest way of flying, also the safest way of flying." If the PAL-V sounds like the answer to the traffic jam, there is a hitch. It requires 165 metres of runway to take-off, 30 metres to land and can only be flown from an airport. It is expected to retail for somewhere between 250000 and 300000 euros. But the PAL-V is not the only flying car - or driving plane if you prefer - coming on to the market. The US-based firm Terrafugia have just carried out successful tests on their own street-legal plane called the Transition. Terrafugia say around 100 orders have already been placed for the car, which will cost roughly the same as its European cousin.
