Gardeners – 28th November 2013

Evening flight at Gardeners hoping to make amends for missing the mallard at The Gore a couple of days ago. Richie walked some deeks out to the middle of the creek, showing me how it’s done.

Could hear plenty of Brent over the sea wall, then a Greylag called in the distance and I spotted a pair coming straight for me. Changed the breach cartridge over to a goose load and waited, just to watch them turn away. Don’t think it was the noise of changing cartridge, but next time will hold the bolt level when releasing, just to cut the noise down a bit.

No chances for me, but Richie dropped a Teal on the mud the other side of the creek which Harry did a great job of picking just before we started to clear up.
