Squirreling

Started noticing the odd grey kicking about - i am always on at them - walking feeder to feeder - sitting on a feeder waiting - getting our keeper trapping them - so was not expecting much
But needed a walkabout as much as anything -even if the weather was shocking - took the shotgun and my accolades just to see if i could see them in the trees

Oh my - i could not believe how good this was - i shot 19 in a couple of hours - to see them hiding in the tree tops or pushed against the trunk was eye opening
Scanning with my eyes was so hard to see them - up with the thermal - look again - squint - yes there - time and time again

Without the thermal i think i would have got perhaps 1 on a feeder

Be out again after our next driven day

Excellent. I enjoy woodland stalking so regularly see squirrels with the thermal but have never gone squirrelling with shotgun and thermal. I must try it .
