Work is definitely getting in the way of dogs at the moment. We did however get across the road for the first time in many weeks. The grass field was fresh sown earlier in the year and is now nearly half a metre high. The dogs love it but keeping track of them is difficult as one only has the occasional flap of ears to mark their progress. Sit them in the middle and they are completely lost from view

No more news at present on the Bob Whites 12 of the 18 candled as fertile; but in the meantime I have been invited to use a pheasant training pen. Looking forward to that as this could be the first good step in getting Catja steadier to flush.
