dead eye alan Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 As I promised Steveg I would try to post more often her goes. Tom (82) and I meet at the field that had been reported to have 600 on it yesterday at 10am. Not a bird to be seen, so went over to the south side hedge (to have the wind behind us) and set up 5 yards apart in a dense hedge between 2 sitty tree's. When I was putting out the 20 dead bird's in cradles and 2 flappers the birds started to fly over us in small flocks of 5 to 12. As we settled in to our hides the sky was empty again, ( funny how that seem's to happen every time out ) So poured the first tea of the day only to have 3 come down the hedge straight in and land! ( Funny how that seem's to happen every time out to ). After that we had a steady trickle of birds for most of the day, some very tricky shots and I had 1 L & R. We packed up at 4 30 pm with Tom on 28 for 52 and me on 43 for 72 and when't home highly delighted. Next time out on Friday cant wait and wont sleep on Thursday night.
