Up at the shoot at 7 this morning to carry on with the ride cutting, the wheat is on the turn and the oilseed rape looks to be ready to be sprayed off, so with a bit of look we will be able to do some proper fox control in 3 or 4 weeks, just before the birds come, I went into the pen close to the farm because the lad who is replacing the drinker system said there was a lot of wasps in there, he wasn’t kidding, 3 large nests in the feeders so they have been evicted, still a fare bit to do, but we are getting there

I took the little.17 with me because the hoppers are still hammering the veg patch, none to be seen but the amount of squizzers is crazy, I shot 4 from the same tree one after another, if I’d taken a shotgun I could of easily shot 20 in a short time, maybe it’s time to make a couple of feeders so the kids can have a go at them, I shot something like 70 over the winter and you would think I hadn’t shot 1, they are doing a lot of damage to the trees, not just stripping bark but once the bark is off they are chewing into the timber

They are an absolute menace up here, forestry used to trap them, poison them poke the drays out but now for some reason don’t bother, I’ll be taking the semi auto hatstand with me next time and shooting the drays out, could be a bit of fun one night after work
