hello pothunter96. have you sat there on dusk to see if any fowl are coming in. and looking at where you live buxton the weather could play a big part in this if every where is frozen fowl will always look for running water . on the feeding side of things how deep is the stream and is it fast flowing . if it is shallow and slow feed well .if fast flowing and deep try to feed close in . and shoot it sparingly may once a week. hope this helps regards peter. ps. ive always tried to feed mid afternoon to stop other birds ie waterhens getting it before the duck.
