    Upland numbers

    Arrived in the Far Nth on Saturday for the last week of school holidays and went for a recky of my upland grounds, spent 1/2 hr driving the forestry roads checking on what areas would be suitable to run the dog on and seen 10 cock birds from the road. Seen 2 cock birds on the track to my dried up duck pond across from my house and heard atleast 2 calling from the pond im shooting opening.

One lost its nerve 2 ft from the dog on point and buggered off at a great rate of knots, so did the dog thru a barbed wire fence looked like it might have been a trip to the vet but luckily not. seen a boy and girl pheasant tonight too. Pity all were in places where you cant shoot

    A lot of juveniles here, must have been late hatchings
