Thread: Game bird diary for all

Oh woe!! One more day to go...

Went and collected Harry and off we went to revisit a covey we had had an eye on, Dionee again team leader...



The upstream wind was as mean as the proverbial dastardly mother-inlaw which probably explained why the covey was reticent in exposing itself...once the sun leaves the gorge, naturally enough the temperature drops markedly. Harry is getting to understand the little birds more and he is thinking about the outcomes...ie too close a shot on a small bird, and why shoot a bird if it cannot be retrieved and to think about the birds roosting times etc.

Dionee worked the ground and the huge blackberry spreads like a demon but to no avail...



All was not lost...two rabbits were shot on the way home.

Again saw some Greys, and a couple of spawning trout.

As I edit this, the rain has come in and it is teeming...grrrrrrrrr...
