    Nothing shot tonight,went up to the big pond dead calm,no shots being fired in the district.
    Still a good training session when Bo was sitting beside when four teal landed.The dog was un restrained and he saw the splashes and was told to "Leave"
    We sat that there a bit longer but no gamebirds came in tonight.
    On the way home we saw the elusive long finned eel under the bridge....the buggers are every where!

    So a couple years ago I put up a nesting box. Nothing the first year as we stuck up at the wrong time being to late in the season so the ducks didn’t get used to it.
    But this year we redid the hey. The wife said that she had seen a duck go in before we went to Stewart Island. So our fingers were crossed.
    We happened to both be home the other day and the wife starts shouting come here quick! So I walk on out.

    Good to see the eggs survive as no rats, hedgehogs and crows etc can get to them.
