A Quick potter on the silage fields as they are harvested

[Redditch]

So, was just over looking at them harvesting the fields, and thought, "what a lot of corvids"

So nipped back home, and, (still in my best going out gear, not my hunting or working gear), grabbed the shotgun and cartridge belt and drove back over to them. Soon as the gun appeared out of the sheath they all took off, but managed to drop three, with the first three shots, between 30 and 60 metres

Then some more came over, but stayed very very high, thinking they were out of range, so another two joined them in falling from the sky.

Five birds in about 3-4 minutes, can't be bad.

Now I have the wagon back, I can set up on one of the fields in the morning, but will choose the one they do as last tonight

That's the best chance of drawing them in I think.

 

Just annoyed I got blood all over my clothes :(

Nicely done mate. Never nice getting blood all over your clean clothes but an occupational hazard . Good luck with the next outing.
