Afraid not - some hours put in though (9 in total over the two days :? )!! That East Hide got cold last night I tell ya!

At least I had Mallard, Snipe and Brown Hares for company and a Kingfisher dropped in behind me to show what he caught for breakfast!!

Cheers mate - nice to bump into some friends of yours too!

Thanks Steve - it was "unexpected" cold, but not saying I was under prepared though, a woolly hat, thermal jacket, flask and fleece still did'nt make it any warmer!
The night vision gave me good views of Brown Hare racing around the pool over at the East Hide, but could'nt see far with them - about normal vision distance, no magnification!

Cheers for your thoughts,
John
