    Took Bo and Ace for a run up the track after work,sighted three hares never got a shot..Back home locked them up and went solo to the run off.Sighted one at 200 yards but it ducked for cover.Rode the quad around to where I saw it hide.Spotted it sitting in the grass,couldn't tell where it was facing head or ass on.Let the .22 do the buis an blew the back end.Finished with a tidy head shot.Reason only one leg and two back straps on the plate.

    3 sparrows, two starlings,a finch,couple of yellow hammers, and one of those god awful introduced black birds that fly off making a hell of a racket putting everything on alert. Much to my suprise a new respect for small bird air rifle shooters. Its a bit of a skill shooting small birds through branches and little gaps at angles they arnt prone to sitting still. Definitly something ill do more often as I walk the farm.

    Rosella taming

    Doing my bit for the neighborhood.
    Those of you who can count will notice two empty shells for three pieces of rubbish cleaned up.
    Would be four for two, but the third Rosella I hit managed to fly into the bush for a 'rest'

    Beautiful plumage, it's still a dead parrot though.
