Attachment 248624

11 sleepless nights and no rain on the forecast here in Sth Canterbury. How’s everyone’s water levels?? Should hopefully make those with water or river shooters like myself fair better.

Waiting for their brekkie this morning

similar quantity of birds took off from pond today,four actually waited till we had parked all of 10mtrs away before lifting off LOL.
fed out more acorns and even half a bag of store bought duck feed!!!! bought two sacks today $20 a piece from temuka seed n grain...looks like a reasonable feed,will see if the ducks like it and stick around. dogs had good time romping around in pond stirring up the weed. life is good.

@Micky Duck Hey mate, I'm heading your way next weekend and I was wondering if you could spare a few hours first thing Saturday to help me move a mates couch down to Dunners? Say 6am on the 4th? appreciate it, cheers.

will check my dairy!!!!! hmmm something tells me I may be a little busy...if you can make it thursday or friday,yeah no problem LOL.

Many ducks in the air in the evenings lads ?
Not many seem to be moving in the evening here in the manawatu this year.
Be interested to see if the numbers are down in the region this year.

maize silage harvest is in full swing around here so birds will be on fields and not moving far...chasing the harvesters LOL.... they have had grain harvest for last month or so.

Have put a heap of feed into our pond only noticed a dozen odd on it during the day , watched it last night to see if any were coming in on dark seen a few go into the pond but watched 100 odd land in the paddock next to it with the cows, so atleast there is plenty in the area

Son and I getting ready for our second season of ducking. Got string and weights on some new decoys this morning. Will paint up some old Canada and parrie deks tomorrow. Have a spot on lake waipori tagged and will shoot out of a make shift maimai...can't wait!

nobody home at 16;30 today but all feed put out a few days ago is gone bar a few acorns...so another half sack of good grain and another supermarket bag of acorns spread out....hopefully they will camo back,I suspect the main farm pond is now also getting fed so they will be flying between the two feeding at both...time will tell.
seven more sleeps
