Evening and night session

[chrismdd 787]

Rik and I headed up the copse again this evening to see what was about. Maybe the last time up there for a while as the leaf cover is getting quite dense now although it does help with concealment. We took our usual places and in the first fifteen minutes a crow landed directly above me providing a very easy shot. Then for the next hour or so it was quite quiet apart from a few magpies, a jay and a crow coming in but not providing any opportunities for a shot. Then a woodie did land directly above but the thick leaf canopy deflected the shot. Rik managed a nice woodie so we both had some action. Home for a cup of tea then out with the lamps for a couple of hours. Almost a full moon and very still so really poor conditions but we did manage a couple, one a nice young buck for the pot and a smaller one for the ferrets.

Hi Rez,  it's just a £8 ultrafire red LED off the bay. Done a mod to it as recommended by mattbugeye by painting the reflector Matt black and replacing the flat lens with a £2 convex lens to focus the beam. Also use decent ultrafire batteries.

An'ya get a decent beam? 8 coins!?  

[chrismdd 787]

Yes, a very decent fine beam that doesn't startle anyone in the neighbourhood. In the past I've managed several rabbits all within a few metres of each other before others have taken flight.
