Well, NTL/VIRGIN ruined my old account when they upgraded my download speed, only the so and so's did not tell me I would lose my account, there are several words to explain what I think of them dear reader but that is not for today, for today we have transferred everything across from the old blog onto the new and can carry on with what is important, namely shooting.
November turned out to be quite a funny month weather wise up here in the North, we had one day where the rain was relentless, perhaps the worse day in several years, in shooting terms the day produced some good birds, it really was the weather that spoilt that particular day.
We had high winds which produced two of the best shots I have seenboth from the barrles of Mike (pictured) Rosie and Ben (The Dogs in the picture) may appear to be looking the wrong way but such was the wind the birds were gone before you knew it, which made the shots even more special.
The duck have got up well all season and with high winds a 10 - 12 foot lead was the order of the day to down these birds.
We went for some straw spread in certain areas with some super dupa feed mix so as to make the birds work for there food and hoping to keep the birds from wandering to far and before the rains really kicked in they worked very well and we will no doubt continue with this next season.
So that was November, but here are some more photo's of the shoot, unfortunately the woods in the pictures are not ours to shoot, I am sure you can imagine the battle we have keeping the birds where we want them.
