Was out today with my shooting buddy. We went out with what I can only describe as a pack of dogs, 3 Springers and the GWP. After an uneventful morning we said we'ld try for a woodcock. Most of the pheasants around here have been shot at this stage, in fact we didn't see one cock pheasant all day long. We tried a glen we hunted at Christmas where we put up about 15 woodcock. We had only just gone in when my mate had a lovely snap shot at a woodcock which his old springer put up, the bird dropped up the side of the Glen in some fairly thick briar's and jungle. We sent the dogs in but they were having no luck finding the bird. Next thing my buddie looks down and her is the woodcock perched up on a branch so I whipped out my Nokia N95 and took a little clip of my GWP retrieving her.

Nature is an awful thing sometimes, as soon as the dog scented the shot bird she went on point so I had to encourage her on to retrieve it.

Took this early last season. We had come across a few very your birds that someone had released. They were scrawny little things and most were missing feathers from their backs. They following week we watched a buzzard scouring the ditch for an hour and clearing them out one by one.

That video was taken early in the season - the pup (with the full tail) has come on a ton and by January was setting his own birds and holding the point regardless of what was going on around him. Can't wait for next season.

Walking home with the dog the last morning - spotted two mallard on the rooftop of a semi-detatched house!

From the droppings on the roof tiles they must have been there for some time.

Wonder if it was the heat escaping from the roof that they were enjoying, as it was a freezing cold morning....even though I thought the cold wouldn't bother them with the thick layer of down under feathers.....have often seen them on an icy lake.

Anybody have any idea why they chose such a spot.
