A bit of a slow afternoon on the lake , a nice double on a brace of spoonies was my highlight . Wind wasn't quite right for mallards , we managed a pair then 3 pigeons . The dog did a wicked long relieve to finish off the afternoon Attachment 50566

Haha a long relieve.... I do those after holding it in on long car rides
This evening efforts, shot a few more right on dark but they weren't on the water when went looking, first time had an evening shot here so lesson for next time to take a better light to check on them when they go down. Apart from that pretty happy with shooting efforts, both yesterday and today I had 4 bird groups and shot all 4 with 4 shots!

A bit of water around, kayaked to the back of the maimai. Excuse the mess in the background, we've only taken over the maimai this year and still clearing out the junk

Good on ya Mrs Dundee.
Dundee I gotta meet your missus one day so you better bring her to Toby's shoot. I need to tell her she deserves a medal.
Last night on mallards,greys and spoonies. Managed a cuppla swans at the river this morning but nothing tonight.
The water table has risen a bit since the start of the season.Shot a few birds for the season and topped up the freezer a bit more.Feathers off the birds were given to a maori lady to make cloaks.
No birds tonight but we have water, the puddle and ponds are fulling up.
