[A hot 75 minutes.]

Well done J 👌

 

[Right wind, wrong direction.]

Brave men, that wind was evil. I was out for 2 hours this afternoon and i am still cold now!

27 was a decent score👍

[Inland pinkfoot shooting.]

Tidy shooting 👌

[New watch for work needed]

+1 for timex expedition, good reliable watch that luminates very well and the canvas strap can easily be removed and washed👍

[Advice, What Flat Head pellets for ratting ( up to 25 yards ) or similar rat stopper pellet,]

Rws super h point👍

[Unexpected day]

Great bag muncher, well shot.

Goes to show it doesn't matter what decoys you have if you're in the right place👍

[Rayburn advice]

Hi Zapp, a Rayburn is placed in situ in one piece as apposed to an Aga which is built in position.

A general heating engineer can connect it all up as with any other gas boiler following installation instructions which are mostly available online.

I might be useful to look for independent Aga/Rayburn engineers in the area though as you will no doubt need one for service/repairs in the future.

If you know of the model of Rayburn you are interested in i can advise further on reliabilty and availability of spares etc.

Quite happy to advise by pm if you prefer.👍

 

[Protecting the Hedera Helix crop.]

A fine way to spend an hour or so. I enjoyed the same on Sunday afternoon and like you found the shot birds full of berries with some having grain gleanings too.

Suprised to not find rape in any of them yet. The birds are in great condition though and make very good eating.

Well shot J👍

[A minor miracle.]

Well done J, great little session👍

[I've got pigeons but no wind.]

I'm sure you will work them out if they hang around long enough JDog.

Not so many migrants here but local populations still busy on berries.

Will be a while before they are causing problems on the rape!

[Migrants on a wet, cold, windy day]

I am slightly jealous too! Great fieldcraft Dr D

Well shot👍

[60 mph and 5 mph pigeons.]

Nice one J 👍

[The Windy Wolds]

Well done chaps, very testing birds in that wind I imagine

[My First 6 Months of 2020 in pictures]

Nice to see you are still getting amongst the pigeons👍

[A field of two halves]

Nice report, had a similar session on peas the same size on tuesday and many of the birds had green wheat and barley in their crops. I feel bags on the peas may become lighter from now.

[Mad Dogs and Englishmen]

Nice to read you are out again Old Boggy

[An opportunity taken.]

Well done gents. A bit too warm for me to be out past few days but we are generally shooting similar size bags on peas which are the same as in the picture. Ours were drilled, first week of June.

[Blyth’s Reed Warbler.]

I have plenty of the regular reed warblers at the back of my house on the banks of the river Hull.

Been an absoloute joy to hear them singing their hearts out well into darkness on an evening.

[A decoying virgin.]

Well done J, you are an ambassador for the sport👍

[Allowed back as long as your quiet.]

Top drawer as usual gents. Seems you are going to get on fine with that little gun muncher, hasnt taken long to christen it!

Nice report and lovely looking lab👍

[Another new crop]

Possibly Lupins grown for seed.

[Out of Lockdown and First Day on the Spring Rape]

Some good sport to come off that ground by the looks of it.

You are indeed a fortunate chap👍

[Pigeons on beans]

Nice shooting👍

[Dodged the showers]

Very nice👍

[Fx2000]

probably some pfte  and the seal washer you suggest. if the bolt head sticks out a bit perhaps it would be easier to notch out space in the inside of the stock rather than countersinking the cylinder.

My mates had the hole for the gauge anyway so that wasn't a problem.

Good luck.
