Rivers are looking good for mallards but have 3 dry ponds here,don't get to my big pond till April when we dump bags of acorns.

Oh and if you remember to bring the bendy poles back for me that would be great.

@Barefoot

Went yesterday to see if I could locate our balloted Maimai for the next 3 years.Eventually found it underneath a large gorse bush. The last guys hadn't done much to improve it and maintain it. Oh well part of the lucky dip with ballots I suppose. Needs a new front wall and floor, the other walls and seating will require attention also. Gorse bush will stay for camouflage aid. That spikey acacia type bush behind us will definitely get Round Upped. Will have to be alert and attentive to our shooting direction, as the public car park is in range of falling shot. Still looks to be worth the effort for the allocated time period we have it. Whakatane Game Club just down the road for tea, Rugby on the telly and the Awakeri hot pools handy, so all good. There would of been 120 + ducks on the water halfway down the Lagoon another 40 or so flying around. Will be going across this coming weekend to work on the improvements.

We "borrowed " about 120000 litres water yesterday and the pond is topped up rather nicely thank you very much.
Blimin hard work sitting with a box watching the water flow tell you that for free..
