Another call from Rick. (This is getting tedious in terms of a theme). He and Sapich took limits again this morning, and in Rick's own words "It was carnage. 5 guns could easily have limited, there were flocks of mallards everywhere". Yesterday afternoon, having dropped off The Big V (who got 4 yesterday) Rick went out for an arvo shoot and finished yet another limit, again there were plenty of birds. Rain and wind may not have mattered as much as the big dump of fresh water that knocks the willow weed seeds down - the ducks know when there's ample feed about. They also hammered a flock of misguided parries.
Mental calculation: 260 birds off the ponds so far. With a 6 bird limit that's pretty special.
