    Got siloughettes at the main pond Munsey,I must bring some home for when we do come across paddocks full.

    This paddock was just a chance stalk but we weren't set up with silos.

    Brilliant that you involve the young girl. She will remember that
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

    The drake got away as the shell jammed when I went to pump the second shot.

    Thats why I took a tank full up there Rushy,I would never get a 2wd tractor up there now. Just had 3hrs steady rain all good I'm not complaining.

    Going to take a hell of a lot of water to fill that puddle and it looks like I will have to restart the bloody syphon from the pond tomorrow as the troughs were low pressure again.

    Tonight I was out again 3 birds on the big pond,shovellers let them fly away and sat in the hide with the rain pelting on the roof
    Nothing came in and dark by 1800hrs so I read my dog her rights and we left
