    Started heading towards big pond tonight but on approach the land owner had shifted her cattle into the pond paddock,first time since the season started so I have had a good run over there.Must remember to take the eel bait out of my coat pocket as it might be a bit wriggley next time I head over.

    Back at green pond tonight and a hen mallard for a change.

    Big pond paddock is still having a break as land owner still has cattle next to pond.
    Set up at river this morning.

    Got home from work just after 1700 and headed straight to the river.
    Got dark down there real quick but we managed one.

    Quick study break shoot last night on ellesmere. Good southerly wind. Found a maimai on a point and set up the decoys. Lots of teal and gulls and not many ducks. Had two pairs of swans fly in and land in the spread and a mallard land in the spread just on dark. Ended up being a tidy shoot.

    No records broken here today either but 5 birds between 2 shooters and some quality time with a good mate = day well spent
