Where has this year gone?? It does not seem 6 months since we finished the last season and with all this good weather we have been having, well down in the south anyway, all the snow earlier in the year seems a distant memory!!!
In only 9 days (at time of posting) we will see the start of the game season once again with the Grouse and it will soon be the Partridge then shortly followed by the Pheasant. Am sure they will be on the Moor's in short sleeves for the first part of the Grouse season.
Having spoken to a keeper on a large Grouse moor a few weeks back it is looking like it will be a excellent season but of course the keeper didnt say that as he wouldnt want to put his neck on the line!!! However there have been birds this year on parts of the moor not seen before as well as vast broods where expected, which is good news taking into account that the Moor's where snow covered in to March. Just goes to show what good Keepering and land management does.
We at Field and Moor wish them all a great season and hopefully i will get up there at sometime for a walk around.
Will try and keep you all informed as to the progress and the number of birds bagged.
Phil
