    the view I take is that by the time I have been asked to come and shoot something in an urban environment, the landowner has exhausted his other options.

    Your chap has presumably tried netting, spikes, etc?
    And I take the same view with my shooting. Responsibility for that with the landowner.
    I thought it was worth mentioning though as the buiders yard could be in a built up area and shooting night or day may be seen.
    My feral shooting is all on farms in rural areas and seen by no one.
    Easy enough to put the landowner wise then if he does get asked, he has the answer

    Thinking back, in the early 90's, I had permission in a builders yard located next to a football ground in the middle of a large city (Sheffield) . Never had any hassle. Public perception has changed though.

    Fair point Rob, good call.

    I thought I covered it under the "leave no evidence", I should have added "try not to get get seen" too...
