Strong winds but still shooting

The last week or so has certainly been blowy and that has made any shooting a real challenge. However, in and around the farm buildings still offered some pickings, even if they were lean. The ferals are very wary and the wind has made them even more so. To make life even more difficult the starlings are flocking into the buildings, the feed passage, the calfhouse and the dry cow calving shed, tens of thousands of them. They act as an early warning system for the feral pigeons, as soon as you move the starlings fly up in great flocks and that alerts the ferals. There are so many starlings I have taken to wearing a fertiliser sack over me as a hooded shawl. Everything is an inch thick in guano, even the cows' backs. A couple of hours this afternoon resulted in four ferals, three collected for magpie bait and one on the roof which the buzzards will fight over. Oh for the jet stream to get back to normal, up north where it belongs.
