Three most common species on dove shooting - from the bottom upwards - the larger bird is a Rock pigeon, laughing dove and the red eyed dove. |
Spur winged geese - the males weigh around 20lb (9Kg) - that's a lot of goose!! |
You can see the shot in this picture. Did I miss?! Great sport with full and three quarter chokes - picking out the highest birds at 40 to 50 yards |
