Stavross 15,912 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 We are the same over this way, we are waiting for the rape to come down around the shoot and a couple of farms, everything is running a bit late this year with not getting long enough breaks in the weather over the last week or so, all the barley is down now so that’s giving us a few to go at, it must of been a good year for them as there’s a couple of places that we only ever seen the odd one or two over the winter where they have now taken up residents 2 Quote Link to post
