Plenty around here and you regularly see them in trees! They often nest in trees, either one they built themselves or stealing an abandoned nest and then expanding it.

No, 12 bore SxS, true cyl and 1/4 choke with 1 1/4 ounces (36 grams) No.1 shot as in Africa shooting much bigger Spur-Wing geese at the time.

WalkedUp Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Some came over on the marsh but I left them to fly over. Checked with the club and as I was on the border of Wales and also not on any arable land etc had made the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
