Have been out another morning and an afternoon hunt and things were a bit quieter. My Springer flushed a hen alongside the river and of course it flew across, denying me a shot at her. Woodcock have been flushing but no shots as I could only hear them go...another hen flushed from the top of a big Pine tree but no shot was offered.
I had found a couple of spots where a bird had been shot on the ground with plenty of feathers to give my dog a good snootful of scent...she liked that!
So far my dog has been enjoying her time afield, and that, to me is a successful hunt!
