A varied hour in the rain.

The woods are turning like there's no tomorrow. Everywhere rich colours please the eye. Reds, yellows, russets and golds. It's raining and i've got lots to do, but I did fancy a walk out in the woods. First shot was a magpie that was sat right above my head in an ancient elm. Came down still kicking to be brought back to hand . Then the phone rang. It was my mate Jay, and typically as soon as i started chatting squirrels seemed to be everywhere. A very quick end ot the call later and a silver critter recieved some attention from a Bisley LRG. Then not much else, so i retraced my steps, getting wetter all the time, quarry was conspicuous by its absence. However, i did manage to spy a familiar shape. A woodie say in a pine tree, all i could see was the neck and that's where it got him. A lucky shot and my first woodie of the season. Let's hope it's not the last. Problem was though, that the woodie had fallen onto a fence, right next to a pair of skiddy undies!!! A bit of manouvering later and a poke with a stick and down he came . I then sent the dog round to cross the water and bring the woodie back to hand. A few more for the FN12's tally...

Things are turning quickly we had first proper frost up here last night which in turn has brought a cracking day maybe a walk out later is on the cards along the woodsides where quarry love to sit and sun themselves after a nippy night.Nice shooting again great pics.
