Cheers Motty! Yeah it couldn't have been a worse set of school boy errors and I can remember well a time before I had one! Lucky I could see his car off the flyover otherwise I would have had to go home.

Today I headed for the outskirts of grimsby on the kind invitation of Jdog, we planned to meet for 1pm at a pub just off the a180 where I've met him before but thinking about it nearly a year ago, due to Friday traffic an accident and me forgetting which junction it was I was running 30 mins late! No problem I'll ring him, no phone! I'd left it on charge at home, arrghh! Jdog is a stickler for punctuality and had left the pub and was reccying a field where he and agaman have had a good day in the past but could I eck as like figure out how to get to it and with no phone I couldn't get hold of him, arrgh! Frantically I crossed the a180 trying to remember how to get to him by this time he has moved to our shooting spot so I parked up scrambled down an embankment through a hedge and into the field shouting and waving like a loon! Jdog had tried to ring me and had given me up for dead, by now it was 2:30pm I'd been an hour! Anyway drove to the spot, a large wheat stubble surrounded by three other wheat stubbles I placed a rope banger on the furthest field as instructed and made my way to Jdog's set up,due to footpaths, roads and wind direction we shared the same hide, the pattern was set,magnet to the left and a few dead birds and decoys I added my magnet to the right and settled in, Jdog had already added 5 to the pattern I then missed three before finding my stride but I didn't shoot well, inconsistent! We were plagued by ferals and it was hard to pick the woodies out,all day we took turns and steadily built a bag,neither of us keeping track just chatting and shooting and p**s taking, but sharing a hide you get to see each other's shooting and Jdog identified that I mount way to early on some shots and invariably miss! I know it's often mentioned in reports on Jdog's shared days but it is a pleasure to witness some of his shots,I can think of three fast 45yrd crossers that he killed really well with the birds flying into his shot string snapping there heads back, instinctive snap shooting at its best, we both missed a few (me more so) birds came from several directions but all afternoon was a steady return line right to left but well out and high, birds did fall for the pattern but the majority sailed passed, one that paid the price contained a crop full of beans! Anyway the birds had tailed off by 6:15pm so we set to and packed up,jasper picked a couple of birds that made the tree line making our final tally 61 wood pigeons and 5 ferals, which surprised us both as it had been a relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable afternoon dispite my nightmare start!

I'm going to see it, my neighbour where I grew up was at Dunkirk, he told the worse jokes and used to to keep you talking longer than you ever wanted too but as a kid you don't think of what he saw, I'd give anything to talk to him again.

Nice pic, I love common carp! I've been snapped off by something very heavy just in front of you, think it could have been one of the catfish, glad you had a good time, there's kingfishers on that pond aswell always nice to see!
