Got a couple of drakes in a little shallow creek the last two days
   Ponds haven't been too good at night shoots lately
Tried the river earlier this morning and no luck with ducks or trout
  Hopefully will bag some more ducks tonight at this pond
 I saw fresh tracks amongst the weed this morning

Well guys and gals its all over till another 306 days.I only missed 6 night shoots cause of annual leave.Only managed a pair of parries this weekend.
Set the silouhettes up.
 Above the pond
 And dropped the pair with a mate
Drake was wounded and hid in the rushes and the hen fell in the pond.
A quick text too the gals we need the dog.
And after leaving the dog behind thinking we'll get them over land both pair fell in the water.
 Jess brought the wounded drake up first and ya couldn't see it from above the pond she just worked her magic!
Next too arrive at hand was the hen that fell in the water.
 So got the pair we were all happy.
 Heres a few more pics of my season http://youtu.be/Q43t2a_DYko - http://youtu.be/Q43t2a_DYko
Next chance too harvest a few parries Feb the 11 too Feb 26 2012
