hi all went out for a walk with the dogs today its 14 below where i am in central Scotland, went through sum woods to see it i could put sum woodcock up every 50 yards the pointer would bring back a dead rook she must have retrieved about 10 and along the side of the stubble fields there were a lot of weak birds as they could not get down to the old seed that was left from harvest, on saying that the pheasants were flying OK and i put up 2 woodcock, as they say up here its almost coled enough to were socks,
