nice to be out.

even nicer to come back with something.
went out at around eleven, wasn't expecting to see much and was really just going out for the ramble and if a shot presented itself so be it.
the dog worked like a trooper AGAIN. she acted the maggot a little bit at the start but i put that down to pure excitement.
first field we came to she was bursting cover and the tail was on overdrive, bugs came darting out, seen me and darted back in. about ten yard further down he came darting back out, bang, a nice right to left shot on a fast rabbit. (delighted)
the third field she put up two hens, one scared the crap out of me:o.
fourth filed she bulldozed into a ditch, a woodcock broke the farside but i watched it circle and got it as it came back over the tree line, a far off shot which resulted in an even further retreive but fair dues the dog got it. i seen 5 more woodcock but i left them off.
the last field, had given up all hope on philip the phesant, but fair play to lucy, she wouldn't leave this ditch alone, in out in out round and round, then she darted through it and sure enough a cock came squalking out, a high left to right shot.
i blew the head clean of this bird and he ran in a straight line for about 15 feet before he dropped, and he flapped a fair bit when he did drop.
anyway smashing morning and the dog never failed me. delighted.
