It’s been frosty the last couple of mornings, it’s very welcome , hopefully it will kill a few bugs . Unfortunately the Maize and cover crops don’t like it and they will soon be unviable as a drive .

Just a heads up for them that do ,wheat just hit £240 a ton here ?

Christ that's some mark up! Avg price from ahdb end Oct/Nov is £188 delivered. I don't see why price so high as this years uk harvest is head & shoulders above last year. ? 

£240 seems especially high though mate, that's almost bread grade prices!

Back up to feed today after the weekend shoot, I didn’t see massive amounts of birds but there was birds in all the feed areas and they were on the feed as soon as I put it down, I’ve put another ( special ) feeder out with the camera on it, FH will know what this is for ?

there’s a few fallow knocking about early now the weather seems to have turned, there was a definite chill in the air when I was there today

Great stuff mate , were those fallow near the special feeder ?

Yeah, I’ve put it at the top of the ride over the piggeries, stepped out into the field and they were about 90/100 yards to my right on the ruff side of the piggeries, it was only about 3:15 ?
