    Great to see them,driving out of the Leathem Valley,saw several coveys one with at least a dozen tweenys,idled along behind them all hopped and flew a couple of feet,all at differing times,then dived into the fern.

    geese spread far and wide last night to many burns at the mo.
    but since theyre ploughed under pretty quick hopefuly my access will be the only game in town for a while at least untill a few days after they finish thier barley harvest.
