    They are very tricky to shoot as quite often you are in the thick of the cover and have little time to shoot.

    The 3rd bird I shot was one of the fastest I have ever shot, it circled me in a flash as there was a strong breeze behind it.

    As they are a truely wild bird, you never know how many you are going to see. 8 in a day is good, but when the weather gets frosty or snowy it is not uncommon to see 10+ in a day. They migrate from Scandinavia & Russia when the weather gets cold in those countries, so our sport is dependent on them having a cold winter.

    Thanks for watching.
