It was nice... Hard ruddy work.... We were raking up and barrowing out leaf mould to get the surfces of the pens nice and dry for scratching and new growth etc. We've been fortunate over the years with not too many health grumble with the birds, but reckon we will lime just in case.

we reckoned a few hundred barrowfulls!.... I ache now... Tomorrow will be proper sore!

Bet it was nice being out in the sticks since the last day of the season
waiting to hear from our gamekeeper about some work parties fixing pens etc
like you said spring is just round the corner normaly in the kitchen by 6am back door open and listening to the morning chorus
while having a smoke and a coffee.

Just spent the day raking out the pens ready for liming. A job that hasnt been done in years under the old guard in one of the syndicates i am a member of. Hard work but a job well done. Nice to be backin the wood. Plenty of birds about, although oodles of buzzards too, so the next job is getting some leilandi boughs in and stuff like that to bring in more roost space as well as scratching cover away from the built scratchers etc. While it was mighty chilly at times, it was good weather to be out. Spring definitely on its way!

I reckn roost shooting can be some of the bestsporting shooting going.... Esp when you work awood with a few groups. Deeply envious!

[TonyN]

It sure is emaresee good laugh from the minute we set off till the end.
Get to shoot the woodie's as well whoever wants to stay behind set off in different directions
that way we keep them flying to different parts of the woods and we all get a few shots when they come in to roost
at the moment they are feeding on the rape fields and their crops are bulging.
