auto culto Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Went out today with the intention of catching a few branchers but spotted none whatsoever, spoke to the farmer and was told that they all took of early about 1 1/2 weeks ago :cry:. I'm sure there must be some more that ain't flown yet but i didn't hear any in the nests. Has anyone else noticed them flying early? Anyway all was not lost as i still managed to get a few shots of with the hushpower .410 :clapper: Boy do i like that gun it gets used more than the 12g semi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auto culto Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 in the bag was 1 rook, 1 crow 2 jackdaws and a collard dove. There was a further crow and 3 collard doves that came down in large watering hole that looked about a foot deep and very boggy so decided to leave them for the foxes. Still I'm glad i got a few as i need some more bait for the fox trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
