another successful day on the rape I headed straight for the field we shot last sat from 1pm till 3pm for 53, got to the field for 11am birds on it but nowhere near as many as last week, there was a weak line coming in to the field so I just got the gear out and walked across to a single oak tree 200 yards from the lane I was parked in, the farmer or farmhand had set a rope banger in the hedge it went off as I walked past it and frightened the life out of me, there was about 5 bangs left on it so left it there it would scare any birds that dropped short of me I thought, slow start 2 birds in first 30mins and didn't look good at all but I know they can switch on a bit later on this particular field I set the rotary up and as always it improved things, the pattern for the afternoon was shoot 3 or 4 birds then a lull of 15, 20 mins then shoot 3 or 4 birds, continued like that for 3 hrs finished on 40 on the clicker picked 38 shot quite well 48 carts for 43 hits took feathers out of 3 birds that flew on to distant trees across the road that would of dropped out at some point but the trees were not on our permission
