The Croc Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Went friday evening, not exactly fowling weather, but.... I saw the first Wigeon of the season, only 30 but I know they're here, and sat watching 250 Canadas sleeping on the other side of the river before drifting of down river, only to return when it was too dark to see them.

There is about 1400 widgeon here at the moment Brian, according the bird spotting website. With around 50 pintail and 180 teal in the count. Numbers are starting to build nicely.

Chad63 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Mmmm, think you'll find there's a bit more than that here Steve, especially the teal and pintail counts. According to the board in Bowling Green there was over 400 teal using that alone last week and I personally have counted 200 plus pintail on the area you was on yesterday. I've also seen an estimated 500 teal there. The wigeon seems low to me as well, is that the Dawlish Warren count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Croc Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 There may shed loads more Steve, but thats all I've seen, just looked on a bird watching site, can't see any more than 30 mentioned, Pintail and Gadwall mentioned though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Not going great for me so far, five flights for 1 wigeon is the tally so far, plenty of fowl around, just never close enough to me. Include two blank days roebuck stalking in Scotland and September has not been at all productive for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve0146 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sorry Brian, I meant on our Estuary. Your right, It was the Dawlish site Andy. The report was on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad63 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thought as much. Whilst they do get their share of birds over there this time of year it is only one site and there will be birds elsewhere on the estuary. Always a good indicator of what's arriving though....

strangford wildfowler Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Haven't seen a wigeon or pintail on Strangford lough in donkeys and I'm out on It every day, plenty of geese and mallard and a few teal but not a wigeon or pintail in sight.

angrymallard Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Teal seem to be arriving now, seen quite a few on Lough Neagh last Thursday. Managed 4 with 3 shots, shot 2 with one shot then a left and right a few minutes later. All in all not bad for an hours flight.

kent Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Well September is over for me now 7 flights 6 shots 4 geese in total. No duck yet, indeed my first foreshore trip for duck will be this coming sat on tide then evening flight. Sunday dawn flight was a flop as regards shooting only two skeins seen both distant both going the wrong way however I did get an owl come in not 6ft over my head, I wonder if it saw the dogs ear etc. sticking up out of the gutter or was just curious to what we actually were.

scolopax Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Started October in a much better fashion, a Greylag and a Pinkfoot this morning, both retrieved out of thick reeds by my 12 year old wire haired Viszla Raff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
