    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
