Yet another hunt today and after some initial confusion - Rhys busting into birds right off the bat and Tessa as well as Shane - uncharacteristically so - running off, the dogs calmed down and started some teamwork.

Just a small speck in this photo, but you can see Tessa on point here. It was a sloppy point - she still flags - but she held it for at least 10 minutes while I walked up and then tried to get out gunner's attention. Unfortunately, he was busy at the other end of the field. We waited patiently. I started filming her but after 3 minutes of that, I started calling for the gunner again. No luck. Eventually I flushed the bird myself, not wanting to walk her off the point. We both marked where it went down, and got it at the end of our outing.
