Well today l was given a free pass as SHMBO was off to the theatre with one of the GC's so l was on the road by 09.30 and heading for one of my permissions in the hope of some pigeon action. ln case it all went txx's up like it has been of late l took the .17 hmr as well as back up as there's always a chance of some ground action, and sure enough this was the most used item of the day. Pigeons all took over the field next door to the one l'm allowed to shoot on, and if l said they were flocking in their hundreds l would be underestimating them, booger! So on a freezing windy and God forbidden day l scored, 2 x Magpie, 1x Squizzers and 1x Woody, all with the hmr, back home early as it started peeing down at 15.00. Guns cleaned, wine gotten from the rack for later. As l said last week, Pigeon Shooting who needs it?

Got a call from one of my permissions saying there were a lot of birds on the lower field. Well as this morning looked good weather wise l was up early and out by 9 o/clock, 'twas cold all the way there but on arrival a cup of tea and chocolate biscuits were offered and consumed, we both had things to do and after a chat l set off to set up. Plenty of pigeon showing on the field so l set up and settled in for a busy morning, did they return, been nice if they did. First off two cock pheasant walk past, hmm must have their calendar out, next up flock of red partridges, must be mates with the pheasants this is not looking good and then a massive flock coming into the decoys, omg lapwings! 100's of them, Jesus we had this last year when they did the same thing and l couldn't distinguish between pigeons and lapwings and packed up and went home. Well l stuck it out for a couple of hours got some high birds coming in "pigeons" and then it stopped, nothing, siltch, not a thing flying not even a bloody cloud. Home early and SWMBO was so stunned l got a shopping list presented to me, ah well you win some you loose some. Hopefully next week will be better, couldn't be any worse. Pigeon shooting, who needs it? PS?
