Took the little 410 today and got a few real close birds. I was stood in a willow covered stream on the edge of a barley field and horses behind me.

The silence of the 410 is handy, not for the horses but for their miserable owners!

Anyway love the 410 ?

Yes, it could be claimed I got the idea off him too.

It's the only way to process woodies I think...that or burgers!

I'm over in mallorca at minute, 34 degrees & poolside. But secretly I'd rather be in a windy stubble field with hours to kill. Enjoy bernard!

Can't see how the decoys will work there buddy and besides, shouldn't you be driving a grain trailor around?

Don't you bloody start! No, I shouldn't be - I'm employed as a shepherd! Took a bit of explanation to my gaffer what a holiday is!!

Make the most of it BenBhoy, not long now before the tups go in and it all starts again ???, my missus has booked us a holiday in September and I would happily swap it for a week pigeon shooting

Our first lot of tups go in my first day, back August 26th to lamb again in January. And I still love it!!

What's the ground like? Get much foot rot? Do you have plenty of room to rotate them on?

They are missing you buddy ?

My wife will warn you bernard, "don't start Ben talking about sheep"!! 

We don't suffer too bad with foot issues as I have a pretty strict cull policy (two strikes and your a kebab). 

We have lots of grass this year & rotate with the cattle to reduce/control worm burden with minimal anthelmintic use. 

I'll stop there....
