They really are starting to look for food. I am now going to try and get 12 more before 1st Jan which would put me on a 6 a week average for the year. Question is, where do I go from hereMust sort some new woodland to cover. 1775 Congratulations, well done. Now can we get the group total over 2000. Let’s hope RS Jerry gets his total on and the Cumbrian crowd to add their numbers. And for the rest of us come on folk let’s have a final push and get a few more.

Walker570 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 12 days to go so I will see if I can average two a day....I need one a day to make it 6 a week. All my feeders are primed so just need some reasonable weather. If I can get to one particular wood and the weather is good it would be possible to do that in a day.

Good shot? Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Two today on the feeder. Total 1786. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchers Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Only one today and that needed a second shot, just couldn't hit a thing, gun zeroed before and after but had one of those days where the cross hairs and pellet didn't meet. 1787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Just went to top up peanuts in a live catch cage and put some feed out for the birds and along came two tree rats looking for trouble and they found it.... 1789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Went out this morning, it was raining. Topped up the feeders and it was still very dark. Sat and watched a squirrel building a drey at the top of a mature Scots pine for 30 minutes. Eventually it decided to come down for its final meal. One less mature female to breed. 1790 Edited December 21, 2019 by Fisheruk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 My Forest Ranger just braved the cold and wet to do a circuit of our wood and found two in the live catch cages, so add another two to the daily total..... They are definitely, at last looking for food and not scavenging in the wood bottoms. 1792 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciurus Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 This morning was abit of a disappointment. The weather was miserable and despite the Estate being closed forChristmas, there were a few dog walkers in the wood disturbing our shooting. In the end, we only shot 5 adults and they were hard to get! They all just hid in the ivy covered trees and were hard to identify and spot with the binos after being located by the thermal. Have an enjoyable Christmas. Total 1881 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
