I live in between the mere and the marsh and there's normally a lot flying over us.

I know over here the geese numbers were well down as well, they are saying bird flu in the arctic hit them hard.

Went out tonight with my lad looking to get him his first teal so we went on a rough dyke covered in brash as the wind has been strong and they normally like to come there to get shelter and feed he managed another Mallard earlier on and nothing else came just as we were talking about packing up a bunch of teal come they were trapping on in the wind he managed to knock one out with his first shot a good shot as well he's well happy with himself and it was good to get the black bitch out after a couple of weeks laid up  she's been climbing walls when I take the others instead

Does she give chase on the hares Tats, or is she steady?
