The Chiltern Gundog Society held a novice cocker spaniel trial at Pophleys estate, Kingston Blount, by kind permission of Stuart Mcintosh and Angie Murrey.
The trial started in heavy rain and extreme cold.
Keeper Mark Williams and his team of stops worked hard to keep the late season pheasants in the beat of the trial.
The guns shot very well and judges Peter Jones and Wayne Grieg gave every dog a good run.
