tlennox Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 My dad's been up this morning and shot the North boundary and there was very little about. He said a few wigeon passed him early doors but just on his limit so he let them fly on. He heard a few pinks on the back of Snook but they didn't flight in towards him. Very still up there this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth6568 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Agreed, I was on the Holy Island Sands area, lying in the water next to a car axial (looked like one). I had a few groups of wigeon fly over but I couldn't get up quick enough lol. Had one mallard too but it was behind me. Heard and saw one pink, flying over the island from the snook area. It's getting colder there now! Have to wait till Jan now for another go with the 10b. Edited November 23, 2014 by Anth6568 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I would love a crack at this as only live in Durham,but wouldn't like to go alone without learning the code of conduct and understanding the way it works. I would love to tag along just to spectate and learn the ropes though.Once spoke to a guy called Ken at Raby Castle show a few years back,but I lost his number.Is there any wildfowlers up north that take people out ( not too shoot) just to learn the ropes.

tlennox Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 According to Colin, there were 400 pinks that left Snook at went North on Sunday. Apparently they're still about at the minute. I saw quite a few Teal and Wigeon on the edge of the black low and one or two pintails still about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
