Bird app eal

Another quick raid, another plump tench. increasing the season heaviest by 4oz at 6lb 6oz. Two other chances, one shed the hook after running back under my feet and a pig that did the customary 50 yard dash before transferring the hook chub like in some vegetation.

Given the abundance of birdlife round the lake I often set Merlin running and here is a screenshot of some of what was recorded whilst playing and returning the tench.



I've also been trundling round with the tribe: footie, cricket, eats and views.


Just after this a nasty haar blew in.
