JDog Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 A lot have gone South of that there is no doubt. This morning at 7:15 I saw huge flights battling low against the wind. They looked like travellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie1965 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Had a good number coming into Borage stubble opposite my house this morning, might dust off the deeks tomorrow if it stays windy. Was slug pelleting with quad by Raglan castle on Wednesday and saw at least 20 "flocks" go over heading south west, well up and not stopping, but later on spotted about 200 feeding on a really sheltered spring barley stubble out of the wind. Pigeons are still out there, just hiding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick morton Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 thanks JDog the only difference from last weekend is that it was a lot warmer ,we have looked over all types of crops new drilling etc, didn,t seem to be much wild life about of any type, just the the odd kyte and buzzard ,so will have to keep our eyes open and i am shore the farmers will be on the phone if the pigeons return.

Michael170874 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yep my perm up here in yorkshire seems to have emptied once again .every year same time roughly they just disappear .it has some huge woods on full of acorns ,beach mast,etc also the drillings have gone in later than usual too so there's plenty food still around.Then come december there will be thousands once more .so I'm not too worried but it would be interesting to know what happens to all those birds that have been here all summer ,and into september.it must be some instinctive behaviour ie migration that moves them on.

Catamong Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I picked up 61 on drilled barley on Sunday, there were lots of birds about, but I've also noticed a lot eating hawthorn berries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
