  This is the first in an exciting new series of books produced on behalf of the British Association of Shooting and Conservation by Swan Hill. Wildfowling calls for hardiness, patience, a willingness to learn and the ability to be content with a small bag - or none at all. And yet, of all shooting it is the most romantic, potentially the most dangerous and, many would say, represents the purest form of hunting. This indispensable guide provides the reader with an introduction to the sport and covers all aspects of wildfowling; quarry species; equipment, including clothing; guns; reconnaissance; roosting; flightlines; tactics on the marsh. Illustrated with photographs and diagrams, it is a succinct and practical guide to the sport.
