mj robson 8 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) There has been a white Greylag in the Tay/Loch Leven area for the past 3 seasons now. I've been laid out on the sand at Seaside and had it 100 yards away from me with a big group of greys a couple of seasons ago. It was at Loch Leven for several weeks earlier this season. cheers, Mark. Edited January 23, 2010 by mj robson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mj robson 8 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 What condition were your birds in? Some guys have said they are getting very thin birds but they are all from down south. I've had 17 inland with clients and they were all good bar 1 which I think was a pricked bird. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Mark im up at montrose basin & our geese are in good nick other than what i would guess are odd pricked birds which are more common since the ban of lead shot. As for woodcock i still feel they arent them selfs & today was the first day iv seen more than half the woodcock lifted i saw that i would class shootable now as the ground was still solid when ban lifted & 99% of the woodcock i saw lifted just fluterd along & pitched in not far away the dogs were near pegging them alot but thats just my MHO.
