Crows this morning

After finishing work at 5am this morning we called into MacDonalds for coffee & breakfast then drove to the farm. Sat in the jeep until 7am so as not disturb the farmer too early, drove upto our hide whilst still pitch black & sorted our gear. We managed half a dozen before daylight, put them out then the fun began. The crows came in well but due to overexcitement & some poor shots we wasted cartridges, the birds came in steadily for a couple of hours then quietened down til we stopped shooting. We collected 61 crows & 6 pigeons. Unfortunately we were unable to pick another +10 birds that went over the boundary. Could have easily been a +100 bird day but we had to leave & were knackered after nightshift image_zps0a820ea5.jpg

Thanks, luckily the farmer had left 2 acres of standing corn due to his machine breaking down so there was plenty about when we called up a few days ago. Once we left today we passed the lower fields & there was thousands flying about. Never seen as many about like this year, gonna cost us a few quid buying cartridges this winter
