CBL1 is correct in all he says.

I'd just add for completeness that duck, woodcock and geese can be lawfully flighted under the moon in UK when cloud conditions allow. It's the purest form of the sport IMO; no decoys or driving, just getting into the right place at the right time with a good dog.

It can be done on ponds, but I prefer the extra bit of challenge that rivers and estuaries provide with truly wild birds.

The shooting is fun, but for many including me, the dog work is the real reward. In common with many I train my dogs at night especially to develop the required skills.
