ollie Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Please see below my latest video from Thursday 30th July. The field is standing corn and the bottom of the field has been totally destroyed mainly from corvids. It was tricky to shoot as there was a road running up the left side of the field, so some of my shots were restricted and a lot of the birds I had to shoot close as I couldn't shoot them as incommers. My shooting was very poor at the start but improved as the day went on and I finished with a bag of 50 birds. Thanks for watching: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motty Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yep, you started badly, but then made some lovely shots. Certainly plenty of blacks around to keep you occupied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hardly an easy shot amongst them, particularly the wheeling Jackdaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 A good video with plenty of action , I am a subscriber. . Cheers, it was a good day. Looks like a great few hours out in the sunshine.... Nice shooting too, some great high shots. Tedly Don't get sunshine often here lol. A couple of decent shots on a high pigeon & crow. Yep, you started badly, but then made some lovely shots. Certainly plenty of blacks around to keep you occupied. Not so many pigeons in Ireland but plenty of corvids. A few decent right & lefts made the day memorable. Hardly an easy shot amongst them, particularly the wheeling Jackdaws. Well some of the first shots weren't the most difficult, but as you said after the first shot the jackdaws can be difficult when they wheel. Thanks for the comments lads.

ollie Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Really enjoyed that. I love those high shots myself, never had a day like that, looks like great sport. The camera does make some of the shots look higher than they actually are but there was a few decent shots. Cheers Another great video Ollie, and cracking shooting. Fair play mate. Cheers fella, doing any shooting yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have been doing the clays this past while, finding it tough to get out at the moment. We just bought a new house so I am DIY man for the time being. And had a baby so nearly impossible lol. But yours and others videos keep me going lol.

Big Al Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Great video and great shooting Ollie. I've never been all that successful shooting corvids like that - their swirling causes great confusion for me. Not for you though -keep up the good work.

I know the feeling, I have a 10 month old and the shooting has def been curtailed lol. Great video and great shooting Ollie. I've never been all that successful shooting corvids like that - their swirling causes great confusion for me. Not for you though -keep up the good work. It defo can be confusing when they swirl after the first shot; however, as long as you don't rush the shot & concentrate on the one bird it's fine. You all set for the start of September?

Big Al Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 You all set for the start of September? Looking forward to it. My wife isn't though. She accused me today of "indecent amounts of shooting talk to anyone who would listen." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Good stuff. I can't believe the season is nearly upon us already. We are still waiting on our pheasants being delivered, we were meant to get them nearly 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
