Edenshooter

I am back after an early morning start. Hard frost and -4 degrees, no wind. Set up first light. Magnet and some shells on field of OSR that has been hard hit for over a fortnight. However, Birds started to move onto another field in view. Cannot reason why that happened! But nothing much else moved for a while, until as you said, the sun shone and melted a bit of frost! But it was noon and I couldn't feel my toes.. so I packed up. At least I have learned a bit of field craft - winter osr and hard frost, have a lie in and wait for things to warm up!

Good luck dead eye. I too am out first light, there must be a thousand or more on my permission. It's a pheasant shoot so I normally don't get chance to hit them before February. Is that your experience hawkfanz on early osr? Just so I can set my expectations lol
