Well a right good day up in Northumberland. Had some new beaters and a 103 bird day, new beaters have asked if they can come again so great start to the season. -

I used to go out with a mate all the time but he would never leave the car or do any static calling. I always felt we were missing so much ground, i bought a thermal and he is still a lamp man so i always go on my own now. I prefer it as i can do as i please. -

Hi Ben I seem to have caught a lot more magpies this year as well and less crows. Had a good year on the crows last year though, maybe thats why? -

Guns were happy. We were short of beaters as some have vulnerable relatives so not taking chances. -

Good watch that Stav. Had a good boxing day shoot birds which considering we only had half our normal beating team is a great result. -

Ahh Tall trees! That brings back some memories young farmers used to organise bus trips there from my area of Northumberland we never used to get home before daybreak, usually in some inebriated state!!! -

I feel sorry for Baldcoot! I sometimes forget to count my blessings, i have a rough shoot just out side the village and the more formal driven shoot I'm in is 7 miles away.
