I have a friend who is in to hunting trips, I was gob smacked at the prices they pay for a days shoot. It’s all about who had the most expensive clothing/gun and who attends the most shoots and buys the most expensive whisky. Crazy world

Was on that stretch yesterday, around 50 Gosling's at the moment hatched, with still half a dozen females on their nest, will become very busy and noisy round there in the next few weeks.

Well worth a walk on the canal when its sunny, beautiful sight...
