No worries there, it was a home load 😂

Looking back through some of my pictures from the season and I came across this from September. Interesting to note the different stages of plumage in the mallard. I will alway remember these birds as I shot the 3 of them with one shot!

I was desperately hoping due to the snow we had here in Fife that I would be sent home from work and that will allow me out to shoot but I had no luck on that score! I had to wait for the weekend, arriving at the farm this morning there was absolutely no rape sticking up through the snow. The woodies were all heading to a field that wasn’t my permission it all was not lost as they had to cross the wood I have permission to shoot. The shooting was superb pure flighting. A fantastic morning!

Flightline, I am getting too lazy for carrying decoys etc these days!

Managed a few woodies yesterday morning despite weather conditions being poor, frost and no wind. Good training for the young dog though.

You will provided you have insurance. You can apply for a eden permit throughout season.

If you get a permit and there is no reason why you wouldn't give me a shout. Im happy to show you parking and access points should you need it.

Get on to fife council and apply for a permit for the eden estuary up by st Andrews

Jim. I got a scope mounted led ray a good few years back and it works away fine for a few hours. The rechargeable batteries that came with it were fairly cheap ones. My brother advised me to buy more expensive ones and they are a lot better.

Aye. I heard there was charred reeds on the lomonds too Jim.
