  1. I gave up looking for pigeons on rape a month ago. There weren't any. Roost shooting was the best alternative. Without exception every pigeon shot was full of Ivy berries. A tiny weather window two weeks ago resulted in one farmer getting out drilling on the lightest (and poorest) land. Rain ever since prevented me from getting after them. Today on a jaunt I spied a line into old drillings. I had my kit with me - just in case. The walk almost finished me off but returning birds lifted my spirits and in an hour and a half I shot 30 pigeons all stuffed with oats.
  2. I presume you were flighting/roosting? Well done either way.
  3. Only yesterday did I purchase a 3/4 invector choke for the gun. I will set it up with half and three quarters.

    Minus 2 overnight but these little beauties were unconcerned. Any ideas?
  5. This wet weather is enough to de motivate anyone. I am as flat as a pancake at the moment.
  6. Thanks for all of the replies and suggestions. I don't think there is any scepticism about my post but if there is just have a look at a website like M&S and the handsome, slim models on display.
  7. Long long gone are the days when every wedding I attended involved wearing tails. My tail suit is still with me but it will be at least twenty years since it fitted and it is gathering dust at a rate of knots. My tailor made suits no longer fit either. My body has changed in shape from a svelte figure in my forties to the corpulent monstrosity it now is. Those suits are cringing reminders of the past. I have a wedding to go to in June. In my entire wardrobe the only items that really fit are my jimjams, socks, oversized charity shop shirts and my shooting jackets. No possible combination of those would be suitable. Easy peasy you may say, go online and have a look. All I can see on there are pictures of very slim twenty something young men looking uncomfortable in garments they would never wear in real life. When I use filters and enter my sizes (at the top end of their scales) the same men appear. This is disheartening. Every site is the same. I do not want to embarrass my son on his wedding day but it may have to be long tweed trousers and a matching jacket.
  8. On a similar note, I saw this images of a Red Tailed Shrike with a Goldcrest it had just killed. This has to be one of the most opportune wildlife shots taken in the UK.
  9. That sounds terrific. I hope you fill your syndicate.
  10. There are Shrikes under observation in Nottinghamshire, Norfolk and Sussex at the moment.

    Not just a pretty face then?

    I haven't done one for a while. I saw this plant this morning.
  13. I did go out. Not many customers.
