The forecast was for a pleasant spring day, it was late arriving and the first detail had to contend with a chilly overcast; thereafter the sun appeared and, other than the occasional wind flurry, pleasant shooting conditions prevailed. The fair conditions allowed for 10 ‘possibles’ to be recorded, including an excellent one ‘clear’ detail for Mrs Beadle.
