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 .

Back to the shoot tonight and what was looking like a promising evening quickly turned into a waste of time, we gathered up a couple of hoppers for the traps from around the farm and after setting them we headed over the far side of the shoot for a call.
