Hello from Alnwick..

 

Not really into Pigeon shooting these days ( shot enough to last a lifetime !) but found some parts of the site interesting.

 

Retired ex Army and latterly guide and gillie so thought I might be able to contribute something occasionally.

Hello mate lovely part of the world your in there was over Alnwick stalking last week fantastic ground I can see why you've shot your fill of pigeons

Thanks all for the welcome.

 

Yes Northumbria is a special place but I was brought up in a remote part of the Cotswolds until I joined the Army at 20 and that is the most beautiful part of England by a country mile...hope to get back there one day for a few years before I die..

 

When I was a lad pigeon flocks used to hit the fields around Oxon/Glos border 10,000 strong! you just don't see numbers like that these days outside of Portugal or Spain at olive ripening time.!
