Another great video,I do look forward to your adventures and although you lost a duck this time the youngster will soon learn. The water has certainly risen and it must have been a little daunting when, you turned up in the dark.The fields around us have flashes all around enticing the ducks off the tide for a forage on worms etc. The algae seems to have gone ,and not before time.Thanks again for letting us watch your wlldfowing.

NRW role over again.The "Welsh Government" run NRW never mind what the people want Drakeford and his little army will get their way. They have publicly said they are against shooting for pleasure.While this tin pot lot are in charge countryside activities in Wales could be doomed never mind how much money it brings to the table.The economy minister is against it ,rural affairs minister is against it ,in fact every labour cabinet minister would vote to ban any form of shooting. We have a huge fight on our hands.

Good to have you back posting your usual exciting vids. Have been watching the developing story about the Lough with some alarm it's good to see it's subsiding ,the wind and temperatures probably help. The shotcam is a nice touch and shows both the good and bad which makes me feel much better seeing you miss sometimes. Great to have you back and may your season continue as it's started.

Thankyou for answering Gas seal.

I have recently returned from a holiday in west Wales and while there several racing pigeons were seen wandering ,obviously lost. On further investigation it was discovered that these birds were from a race from France to Ireland. With the current conserve about avian flue I was wondering if these races are frequent and to what degree they are monitored by DEFRA.

Done.

I watched this debate yesterday and it should be a clarion call to everyone who shoots in Wales and beyond that if we don't take some action the days of sport shooting are finished in Wales.The minister said that the Welsh Government is against any form of live shooting . We cannot just lay down and let these ministers take this vital way of life away from us. I am convinced the Welsh labour ministers are not fully aware of how many of their supporters they are going to loose when these new laws come in. If you or any of your friends or family haven't replied to the consultation please do so quickly.

A no reply is what the anti brigade are hoping for.I am pretty sure WJ and their supporters are not holding back with their views on the proposed licencing. The Welsh government would want to ban all gun ownership if thy had their way.Any support is better than non.

Only 62 at the moment,surly there should be a better response than this.Game shooting in Wales is under attack by this totally anti shooting government.If we lose this fight all other forms of shooting will be next.Wildfowling will undoubtedly be in the firing line. Please pigeon watch members get your replies in and if you live in Wales write to your SMs and push them for their answers. Our countryside way of life is at steak.

It really is most important that everyone who shoots in Wales takes part in this consultation. NRW is just a Welsh government agency driven by an extremely anti agenda. BASC and Countryside alliance are also pushing for members to get involved when the consultation is made public.

Done.

Nice to see a young dog getting experience, I'm in the same boat this year and it is so pleasing to watch his success and at times frustrating when " PUPPY " brain become active . You have to laugh sometimes.All success for the season.
