Wullz 408 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Nothing doing yesterday, they were there alright, but lack of wind allowed them up in dribs and drabs all over the shop...no chance of a shot. Should be good tonight with this wind and I will be out again in the morning....noone else venturing out?? Heard you had to queue up at Findhorn to get a shot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you had a good trip mate canna wait to get up there. Although we are doing pretty well down here just now!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wullz 408 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 It was good mate, alhough the weather and tide was against me a wee bit. Only got 1 night on the beach, which can be really good. Listen to your mate there, Castle Stuart can be good, so can McDermotts old place, there is a big lagoon down there and plenty of ducks and geese roost down there.... Have a good trip and let us know how you go.....there are thousands of geese up there at the moment and plenty of ducks too...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
