Had a few hours out this morning over winter rape ,have had a few days over rape already and have got good numbers on a few fields .

Some people dont get them on there rape till november time but they seem to hit mine around now for a month then leave it and come back strong in december .

Had 3 fields to look at this morning ,headed to the first to find a good friend of mine had beaten me to it had a quick chat then headed to 1 of the others .

Spotted a few on some wheat stubble on the way but thought i would look at the rape and im glad i did ,there was around 100 down feeding and a steady flow coming and going .

I was soon set up under a tree with the main flightline coming in to the field from behind me . I set out 12 shell decoys and soon had 2 over from behind and straight in ,then they started to give my a wide birth so set up the rotary and had a good flow of birds for the next 2 hours .

At 10am it chucked it down but i stuck it till half past then packed up .

 

Picked 38 shot 41 and had 58 shots :blush: went back to see how other guy was doing and he was on 12 ! also checked a few crops a few had nothing in a few had wheat and a few rape :blush:
