Good to see our 'burglar alarms' have survived. Any strange vehicle that comes on, or slows down around the house, and these noisy buggers start squawking. There's another 6 perched up in the trees giving more warning.
Up to opening you could get within 50m of them, abit scarey at the moment...

Just a bit wet out there now.

Used to like how you honed the blade down in the possum skinning days until it was the shape of a scalpel blade ... then it become the perfect blade for the job...

I won a mercator knife when I was a kid for the heaviest hare.Took the knife into the engraving place told him the weight of the hare and said I wanted the weight and heaviest hare engraved.Picked it up that arvo bloody thing had heaveist "hair" engraved on it Bloody foreigners!

Awesome night for it.
Windy & Wet, Ducks are flying
A few shots, a few mares, it was amateur hour.

All dried out now, roll on Big water shooting on Sunday.

Dundee that's a classic story! Do you still have the knife?

Got this in the morning flew out with 5 other greys so dropped him. Gonna have me some more duck nuggets

Went for a wander down the river this afternoon

Flushed a couple out, but with no dog, and the boy not willing to go swimming, we let them go

Had a cook up before setting up for night shoot

Can't afford layout blinds, these work fine

Had a couple of Teal turn up.......but no ducks. Tomorrow's another day
