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 .

Farmer has cut some oats and usually  a good field for the corvids. I was set up before daybreak and had a few hours. It wasn't as busy as normal but still managed a few ? Just as it was getting light I peered from my hide and there was a fox no more than 10 yds away looking at me , it turned and headed back to the wood and I tipped my hat to it as didn't want to shoot it up the backside with 6 shot , I will make an appointment soon with the rifle ?

Nice outing there FH .Making the most of downtime I see .

Got loads to be doing at the moment , crows , rabbits , foxes and going up shoot . Dont seem to have the time or energy to keep up at minute with all the fields coming off. No time for work. Glad it's raining for a few days to get a rest ? Had another 32 bunnies on Thursday night ?

Good thinking Mark, that bird shot isn’t so good for foxes imo. I use 50 gram bb’s, they’re so good that they actually shrink the ? fox so that you can pop it straight into your top pocket?

What like a Toyota Hilux or some such??

I could probably just about afford a push bike, this working for yourself is ok but it’s definitely changed my lifestyle, not so much for my Mrs, it was our 10th wedding anniversary on Saturday and it would appear that my flowers were not enough because she went to Audi and ordered herself a new car ?
