  3. Hi there just had a 3 day break at kildale in the North Yorkshire moores and WOW the scenery and land there is gorgeous !! I have never seen so many pheasant partridge and grouse in my life every where I looked there was birds . We was in a reall remote part with the nearest house been a good mile away does anyone live local to that area ? As I would love to come again and possibly do some shooting up there such a gorgeous place
  4. Went down the Humber this morning and it absolutely hammered down before we got there thought oh this will be fun really heavy rain and 20 mph wind straight in the face and a really high tide made all the birds lift off managed to get a teal a mallard and a pink foot so was well worth getting wet :-)
  5. Oh the joys of getting up at 4 am to drive down the marsh in this freezing weather lets hope the geese and ducks are playing ball :-) wish me lucj
  6. Any come over ? Seriously I have never seen so many geese !!! For 2.5 hours none stop they was coming over in groups between 10 and 60 mixture of grey lag , Canada and one small group of pinks with the odd duck in between !!! I shot one duck and one goose . Could have bagged a whole lot more but was a mile walk bak to the car trough sloshy cow fields didn't fancy carrying any more was nice to just sit there and watch them come off .. Will be nice for next time !!
