hily 380 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Had an early start this morning try to catch charlie coming back home to one of our woods been seen in this area a few times .Got settled and waighted no sign of charlie but plenty to see watched some cock birds wander of into the reed bed lots of bunnys and a hare whent about their businese a nice little roe popped out of the wood .Time was getting on the shepherd was moving about on the quad in the fields below me so decided to give a few calls no fox but a bloody big buzzard came straight into the tree i was under it gave me a quick look over and then it was off.Unloaded the gun got me gear and walked back to the motor never fired a shoot was it a waste of time ? Na not to me it was'nt enjoyed just being out. Theirs plenty of folk housebound who wish they could just get out plus watching wildlife for real is far better than on the telly. Quote Link to post

I hear that! Never a better moment than pondering life's strange anomalies whilst being in the great outdoors. Plus that one shot. Quote Link to post
Geoff.C 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Had a lovely walk round my permission yesterday. Never saw a rabbit, told myself I must be doing a good job!! Watched a few pheasants scratching about, nearly jumped out of my skin when a hen took off right in front, must have nearly walked on it!! Nearly back at the Jeep, more or less given up, then saw a woodcock sheltering in some brush. By the little pond, I spotted a kingfisher coming from the water. I was right in the open then, so just stood still and used my 'scope to watch it. He dived again and came up with nothing. Watched a little longer and he dived and came up with a beak full of minnow. So, like hily, I achieved bugger all but had a nice time in the country. Quote Link to post
