Yes that is the Irish Sea in the background. Across the water from us is Scotland. The cover is extremely thick in our shoot, probably thicker than we would like, but it's great habitat for the birds.
Our season runs from October to end of January. We buy the birds as poults during the summer, they are kept in a holding pen & fed every day until about September. They are then released into the shoot and we don't normally start shooting them until start of November. We have feed stations around the shoot to try to keep the birds from straying into other ground.
