With one week to go before another season ends our farm shoot worked it's socks off to find half a dozen cock birds, where have the hen birds gone? The published pics show, Tim and Tristan looking a little rough after spaniel attacks. The day's bag of six cock birds. 4 eager spaniels stuffed in a Jimny. One to die for chocolate cake......can I have some more!
Many miles were walked over sticky ground looking for any cover that looked likely to hold game. Unfortunately the farm have been a little too eager to trim hedge rows and rough ground so any birds were like gold dust although plenty of partridge were seen with one covey of around 30 spotted first thing. If we had 30 guns/beaters we might stand a chance of driving partridges but our attempts mostly fail unless we find a few in a hedge.
One last day to go before all goes quiet so we will see what the day brings then hopefully next seasons planning can start...I have a few idea's as I'm sure as others do as well.
