Well I'm buggered if I know what's going on here.
I have spent 8 hrs over decoys in normally productive spots on private land. I have only seen 8 reals and maybe a dozen parries.
Weather is perfect for ducks.
On an average night I will normally see a few hundred reals flying around and con a few in to me for a shot.
I have seen 8 total in the whole valley!!! Managed to fire 3 shots for 2 birds that were just having a look and I didn't see approach, so I fluked them.
Never have I seen it so quiet.
I have been back and forward to Whataroa a couple times in the last few days and have seen bugger all birds, where you normally see heaps in waterways and flooded paddocks.
Hoping it's just a weather thing.
