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 .

I'm seeing more woodcock than last year, are you seeing more?

See 5 at the sheep farm yesterday and you would normally only see the odd one up there and there seems to be a lot that came in on the moon week before last up at the shoot

Feeding today and there’s even more trees down than when I left on Saturday and there’s a few places I can’t get the quad to so Friday morning will be a chainsaw morning, the snow has all but gone and the birds have hammered the feeders while the snow was on the ground, I’m not only feeding pheasants but I’m also feeding Rudolph ? when I went through the ruff side of the piggeries I seen a white flash, stopping the bike there was 4 or 5 fallow doe’s about 15 yards from me, they do tend to winter where they were due to the warmth of the thick cover

There’s quite a few, sadly all in the dark, I did see a small group of doe’s in the thick this afternoon, we are shooting this Saturday but I’m not planning on doing the ruff side of the piggeries where the deer are at the minute, so I’ll check the camera on Friday and if it looks good we can have a look out ?
