Interests
I love fly fishing the hill lochs for wild brownies and coastal fly fishing for sea trout. In winter I am now doing more wildfowling than beating and picking up and really enjoying it.

Hi Grandalf Your wildfowling career sounds like an amazing adventure and sounds like youโve done more than most . You should write a book ? I am a few years off my 50th and where I once loved beating and driven shooting I canโt really get my interest back , I still love the shore and fowling but we definitely all change as we get older. Your inspirational still out deer stalking at 85 , ๐ฅ and I wish you many more successful and happy seasons deer stalking.

Turning Custom Duck & Game Calls

Well done your call looks great . Does the book cover how to tune the calls and how easy was it to tune ? -
Who Still Carry Out Morning Duck Flighting ?
greenshank1 replied to marsh man's topic in Wildfowling
I do the odd morning flight but way more evening tide flights . The foreshore I shoot I know it will be quieter the closer to dusk , less likely to bump into tourists , local bird watchers and local dog walkers so evenings are when more birds are about and I can be more discrete . If the pouring rain ever eases , I am hoping to do my first moon flight in the next few weeks and would appreciate any tips from any experienced members ๐ -

Well done ๐ -
Good luck ๐ I would sort out a back up for Christmas dinner just in case you donโt pull it off. If your near Edinburgh your near the Forth so plenty geese about on foreshore and coming into fields so with a bit of scouting on the shore and watching fields youโll be sorted. Scouting and getting out there is the best way . Good luck ๐

Saw the first skeins of pinks yesterday coming down just north of fort William, Irish or Solway birds ๐

If your interested in decoys watch Tales from the Marsh on YouTube, it features some fantastic carvers and their work is stunning.

Fantastic Thatโs inspirational. I really fancy making a few decoys and trying them on the shore.
