    Left home at 9.30am.....16 birds between 2 of us and home by 2.30.
    With the wind gusting to 30knts at times it made for some very fast shooting with birds appearing like fighters on strafing runs !!

    Well been a whirlwind season with plenty more birds taken since my last post. This year I took the whole of May and first week of June off work to pursue waterfowl and I was not left disappointed with the results

    I see the hare
    Pheasant season finished for us today.
    Plenty of birds but the shooter was not on his game. Fun all the same.

    Yep, I must admit the end result is not really the important bit for me. Dog did good and that's enough.

    Damn computer stopped accepting photos as attachments so it's taken a while to figure out a work around.

    Anyhow had a great day the other week, Only one fell to my gun though it should have been more.
