In the beating line

Yesterday we all went to our favourite Saturday shoot. Mum normally picks up at this shoot with Fergus, and Max works for Dad when he is shooting. However, yesterday both Mum and Dad were shooting. The guns take it in turns to stand and shoot for 2 drives and walk with the beaters for 1 drive, and you will never guess what happened in the afternoon........................ when it was Mum's turn to walk with the beaters she put Fergus back in the car........................ and took ME!!!!!!

Fergus has told me all about what happens on a shoot so I just took it all in my stride. First we blanked in a big field of rape, then went through a small wood and finally through a maize cover strip. When the birds started to fly and I heard the guns shooting I sat and watched. I don't know why I had to sit and watch, but I remembered Fergus telling me it's really important to do this. Mum said it will all become clear when I am a bit older - I can't wait to be a bit older!!!!
