Cracking day at Downhouse. Invited the girlfriend out for a day in the field which she really enjoyed. Guns shot like champs all day. Shot 138 pheasant, 1 partridge, 1 pigeon and a squirrel (it was jumping from tree to tree according to the gun lol). Unfortunately despite Floyd working like a machine all day, he off to the vets on Monday for stitches thanks to a piece of flint.

Syndicate day to day 250 - 300 ./ All shot well . Mixture of partridge and pheasant . 270 something was he bag . Interesting thing was I saw what I am sure was a wimbrall ( spelling ) . Like a curlew but with a strait beak . Normally a fore shore wader but seen on the wet lands and marsh . No one shot it as it was not in the bag . Not sure if its on the legitimate quarry species or not . Bigger than a wood cock before any one says !

Good job nobody shot it if it was a whimbrel...most definitely not on the quarry list..i think youre id might be slightly wrong though.whimbrels have a dowward curved bill just slightly shorter than a curlews,and are a pretty rare summer passage migrant in the uk...sounds like a busy day though,lucky you.
