JDog Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 As I left home this lunchtime I saw 40, yes forty Ravens within half a mile of the house. If anyone has never seen a Raven and would like to see some then get in touch. Having had enough of unpacking boxes I headed out to some week old drillings which had a very nice flight line into the field. There was loads of barley on top and I expected a decent afternoon. For some reason the pigeons just never came back in any numbers, but the Corvids did and I shot 14 Carrions, 9 Rooks and 5 Jackdaws which was pleasing. Less pleasing was the horrendous hail storm which hit with little warning and which left me and my kit absolutely soaking. It has taken an hour to sort it all out and hang up. Roll on summer days I say. Amongst the crows which came to the decoys was a brown one which just avoided the pattern - decoys and lead shot.
