Few corvids today

[Jackdaw 101]

With all the Hype over the Royal wedding,could think of nothing better than getting out with the .410 Husher today and escaping it all for a while lol.

[Jackdaw 101]

Plenty of shells stocked up so I might just have a couple more outings in the week,life's good.

Had a little go today J ,shot 39 , picked up 35 and a couple of pigeons ..once I had a couple for the ff5’s they pulled them in really well ..The other lad I had out hit 52 ..so wasn’t a bad exercise in corvid control .The first of the ducks are in so it’s starting to gear up , the crows will be hitting the cover crops , feeders and just about anywhere they can nick an easy meal over the next few months so should be plenty of opportunities..talking of opportunities I must make a mental note not to leave my half eaten cheese roll on the chair while I take a shot , especially when the labrodog is sitting just a few inches away.....never see the going of it ! !
