when i was farming in pukehina i used to get about 100 landing in the paddock couldnt get in range of the buggers they would just fly across the river bastards used to make a mess of the grass. needed a shotgun gatline gun.
Wrong Secton.
But yeah, go pukehina! leave the parries go the quail
We have had a bit of trouble with parries this year in whataroa i have shot 130 in 3 shoots on the neighbours new grass paddock. I see about 100 back there again so might be time for another shoot.
I dislike the bloody things with a passion. They put up the alarm when I am sneaking up the back and they shit all around the back yard.

But then they turn several miles up the valley and do a run downstream again effectively clearing all the game off the river flats for miles in both directions and you swear to smash 10 generations of their eggs but you dont because in some strange way you like them.

Not a single ounce of Czech in my lineage Scribe, however I sense you were not meaning that. And as to parries flying several miles before turning. I wish. Whenever I have a rifle in hand and the intent to sneak up the back of the farm they do tight circles over my head screaming "Beware beware, Rushy has his boom stick" I will admit that it is a bit of a love / hate thing.

Geese do the same for me up those valleys. Away in the distance you hear that first honk and the you see that wounderful v formation as they come around the corner following the river and pass overhead.
and then I think "is all this I see around me really just an accident, are these mountains just remnants of colliding stars and cosmic dust Is that perfect v formation of geese really the result of some primeval soup of elements out of which slithered some primitive single celled creature we called life"??????
Scribe, I too am a man that marvels at the beauty and splendour in the most simple of things that nature serves for our senses to take in. There have been many times when I have trodden in some remote part of our New Zealand bush and have wondered whether any other human being has had the pleasure of witnessing what lays before me. I am sure I am not the only one to have felt this way and I think that it is an absolute privilege that we all have the ability to see such things.
I believe that there is a balance in nature and can't help but smile each time I hear the Whio referred to as an endangered species as I have seen these little blue duck so often and just like the Parries they too have an inordinate ability to sound alarm to other ceratures just when you don't want anything to make a noise.
All a part of lifes great tapestry of which we are but a thread.
"Of which we are a thread"...What a delightful play on words, I like it 'rushy'
