    Seemed to be a high percentage of older birds this year ,which explains why they where a bit shy & harder to call in.Wonder if that was due to the dry summer ,they need a fair amount of humidity to incubate their eggs.Maybe the hatch was way down on account of it .Probably similar number to last year,another month for Parries so not all bad .
