Jim and Slam came to the line at 11:23 am

F – A quick zig zag and he's got the bird!

SR – Out over the gap and onto his bird!

RR – He began hunting between the RR and LR stations – moved his hunt pattern to recover his bird.

LR – In on the corner of the timber closer to the lie – worked the mowed corridor – came across to work the far quadrant of the trees and worked out his bird!
