Catamong Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yep, me and a friend shot 98 over rape last Sunday, I would say that close on 50% of those were 1st year birds, with probably 10% having hardly any neck markings. I breasted a good few of them last night, and was pleasantly surprised to find good levels of fat still present on most birds, despite the recent hard weather. Cat.

MerseaDavid Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I saw a very young bird in the garden this morning pecking around and it looked like it had only just left the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Had about a dozen young birds with no neck rings in the past 2 weeks in N Norfolk. One today still had a bit of down on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
