Ok chaps,
It gives me immense pleasure to announce that after a year of searching for permission I have finally landed a good few hundred acres. It is sheep and beef farming so not teeming with birds but plenty crow and LOADS of pigeon up in the acorn trees.
I knocked on at least 25 farms for permission to shoot and I was knocked back 25 times...
I suppose you make your own luck...and I did just that

I now shoot for the farmer I beat for. Pigeon and crow to start with.
Now, I begged my mate for his decoys last night and set up this morning. Manged 4 blacks for 5 shots!
Obviously I am in debt to the PW pot, so let me get a month or so under my belt and I will offer a morning out.
All the best, and thanks for reading.
