Rook Shoot

By kind invitation of Mr W.J. Wedd, the annual rook shoot was held at Corney Bury last week. There were about 70 guns and a plentiful supply of birds.

Some good shooting was witnessed, as most of the birds were very strong on the wing. A company of about 100 sat down to an excellent tea, served in the old farmhouse.

After tea the party made another round of the rookeries, and brought up the number of birds to about 650.
