About LinkBacksOut to Ellesmere this afternoon. Interesting indeed. There is a bit more water in than last time, was getting rather deep on the way in but drove most of the way. When it got too deep (about 800mm deep on the road) we backed up about 150m and parked the truck where is wasn't so wet. It was cold, wet and windy and there were very few birds flying about at all. Came back empty handed. Still damn good fun.

Thanks for the update Gadgetman
Been a bit slack here the last couple of nights but the weather was good for the birds.
Friday at the big pond
The southerly blew like hell and a few birds came in but the dog fucked it up and stormed outa of the mai mai,no shots fired
Tonight was 4 degrees out side and tried the green pond,nothing came in but the ponds a finally starting to full up
It was fricken cold out there

Where the hell was that Dundee? Not your back yard I am sure.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

Well I wasn't doing anything with birds and dogs if it is of any consolation EeeBees. I was just out hoping to do it in the wind, the rain and the cold. 3 degrees with a real feel on -7. Still do it again in a heartbeat mind. Originally Posted by EeeBees

Sit out in a rocking chair on the porch with it over your knees EeeBees! It won't help the withdrawal but your reputation will be enhanced

I'm back in the good books to Chris
On the approach to the big pond I smacked 2 pukekos over
It was a lot calmer there tonight
Happy dog
The swallows have taken over the mai mai in our abscence
Saw a couple of mallards but they flew off from the creek when we left.
Dog lept off the bike to chase a hare on the way home but gun was unloaded after leaving the mai mai and she was given the command "Leave it" and stopped the chase and on the bike again so she is in my good books again after the other nights fuck up

Is that why the bugger has been so bright lately?
