scolopax Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Just about to head out for what is most likely my last flight of the season, but it has turned very spring like today. Even a honey bee in the garden. Not really put me in the mood but I will drag myself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Two greylags hung up in the garage are testament that is was worth going after all. Could have shot a few more but two was enough, and also enough to carry back. Saw a few pinks as well which was a bonus, not normally a winter goose locally, just get them in the autumn before the move off further south.

Well done a fine way to finish the season , I should think the pinks have dropped in for a rest on their way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Glad the flight went well Richard. A mate and I Had a few mallard last night but despite plenty of teal about this morning we had no further luck. Funny yesterday we hardly saw any teal , but a good sharp frost last night brought them out from inland , but a rapid thaw this morning sent them all back inland by the top of the tide mid morning. Only one small skien of pinks seen heading high west today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Speaking to some folk a lot of these guys are not Wildfowlers as I know it, they take a once a year trip to Scotland on a lads outing to have a few shots and drink some beer....not doing any wildfowling for the rest of the year I suspect they get bored and try a few shots more on hope than expectation, and it their mates also have a go then they must be in range surely ?!?!
