boy was it cold today, 2 of us had a look at 4 rape fields spaced about 1 mile apart 2 of the fields didn,t have a great deal of birds on them and a guy was already set up on 1 of them,so looked at the last field and found about 300 on it so settled for this field it was an awkward field to shoot with a public footpath down one side and houses within shot range down another so had to set up otherside of the hedge at a pithole the birds were using as a cross over point with our backs to the rape it worked quite well had birds passing wide either side of us but made do with what we could, it was just nice to get a few shots off at last on the pigs after 3 lean months on them :yes:

 

finished with 21 in the bag so not to bad

Great bag Yicky... :good:

 

But what's happened to all of the rape that was in flower back in November, or are you now a bit older and a bit wiser , now that all of that Charlock has been poleaxed by the frost..?? :lol:

Well done mate, you had a better one than me.

I finished with 9 woodies yesterday, not a lot about my way and what there was didn't want to decoy. Only one pair decoyed to the pattern where I dropped one the rest were high shots.

Was cold but still an enjoyable day, haven't been out for a while and also had aa few blank days last time out, so a 9 bag was most welcome.
