I don't do much tv but that sounds worth a watch. Did you seen the meteorite shower? 

Vey much well worth a watch; there's two seasons now. He has a pretty decent hypothosis.

No, I didn't see the shower.

A lot colder over in your neck of the woods than it is over here , I went out around 7.30 am and it was 7 degrees and later on in the morning it got up to 12 , tonight when I got home it was still around 9 degrees , we have got a shoot Saturday and I will let you know if we put up any Woodcock , we should have a few in by now , it was always believed that the Woodcock come over to us under the full November moon .  MM

Evening Krico .... The short answer was Yes we did , on the first drive they pushed through two smallish woods that were nice and warm with a load of vegetation and although I didn't see them as I was a long way back but the keeper saw at least 7 , then throughout the day we kept seeing the odd one , the day was a 150 bird day and as we had a lot of duck and a fair bit of game the guns were asked to leave the Woodcock alone unless one of the guns wanted one for himself , which nobody did , the 150 day was easily achieved even though the young guns were not on the best of form .

You can see how dry the land is this year , last year you would have got a 4x4 stuck where my dog is sitting .

Thanks MM, few in with you so. I spent a couple of hours yesterday looking for them,  rise 5 , shot 1. But talking to other lads in different parts of the country (over here)  they haven't met any or many. So only  a sprinkling of them, It'll be next week till there is a good fall of them in i recon,  moon was at its fullest last night.  Hard weather forecast for next week too. Glad to hear the shoot went well, and that's a tasty looking hen pheasant in your labs mouth.👍
