A very difficult weekend a nice double set on the Saturday saw a frustrating day with very little activity near the catching area. Small numbers of birds on the catch field but many birds at the other end of the farm were more interested in grazing on a sheep field. Sunday morning we deployed blockers in each field and managed to eventually get just over 200 birds in the catch field but tantalisingly close to the catching area but just not close enough. After a very slow bit of pressure we had a few birds in the catching area and took a small catch of five birds as a consolation as the flock looked twitchy and like it was going to lift.
