Wildfowling is traditionally a Winter sport that depends on the migration of waterfowl species from colder Arctic countries to the UK and Europe. The wildfowling season kicks off in late September and early October when geese and ducks move south to slightly warmer conditions. Wildfowling involves a lot of restraint and endurance, as well as good knowledge of different species of bird. It's likely that you'll have to recognise species of bird you're looking at and whether it's legal to shoot, moreover in low-level lighting and bad weather conditions too.
