did you not see my email?

My actual chest measurement is 45” so I ordered XL will see what it fits like when it arrives . Might help others if you say where you got if from and what it cost?

Took the plunge and bought one, paid £84 with discount and it includes battery. Should be here Wednesday next week, will give some feed back once I have it in my hands, hopefully I will be nice and warm when we get the promised cold next week....https://www.amazon.co.uk/LABCOOL-12000mAh-Heating-Motorcycle-Activities/dp/B0D8WBSYBZ/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1HIVU4REPAS5L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8ByShDSEhOlurVVgaS96YPkYMrFkpwuA2W7kdMvHmX6eCZrytsScpPxzSOvyWMLWtwS9YQjjk6T_eT43i9paG_nIrkpDl2nP4AJGKMffmWI4wbIdRO_JNcLLhVz2JSwuoJKesi7eNjy5XDGQ5qtUcFZfW6yMlLtgTNQKZsV4EY09Fs-JE7eP1jZJIGUqswV26nGesjc0ERuzgjK_EpvLPl77fklcIa3ZavBO1KUqLVUJ9WSx5NRmRIYt_c-rtfYbO_ZhFJZGj_dHx9kWwhHt4HfjvxGNSJ28-hMH8EBF4vc.VfkMfJkYZ13Z306jH98Hui_rVs0yIZ6IZzGLBNtzrus&dib_tag=se&keywords=heated+waistcoat&qid=1731770946&refinements=p_n_size_two_browse-vebin%3A14223229031%2Cp_n_feature_thirty-six_browse-bin%3A96332067031&rnid=96332065031&s=apparel&sprefix=heated+wastecoa%2Caps%2C89&sr=1-7

yes, I know, that's why I was asking if anyone had one, hoping to get some recommendations as there hundreds of them.

yep, he's a quick learner, only been on here since 2011.

got any links? got any links?

As title, anyone bought one of these and if so which one and are they any good? thanks

Well done, nice bag of pigeons.... does that mean you have cracked this pigeon lark now.

Yep, a lot of that just lately, some join and never make a post.

Yep, seen it lots of times where they are a bit reluctant to decoy this time of year, they fly around the field landing anywhere then just get up for no reason and have a fly round and back down on the field, these flocks are difficult to brake up and tend to go in one or two big flocks land in the woods and trees then when they do start coming back its usually in biggish numbers, they are playing follow the leader. Migrate birds? Maybe be but these numbers have been around here since they cut the corn, so I think they are the same birds but starting to get their winter heads on.

kitchrat talks about frustration. Gets a call on Sunday pigeons all over my sown barley, gets there today and talk about frustration, there were a good 1000+ birds all over the place, walked them off twice and they came back in flocks of 200-300, landing anywhere with no flight lines, so I put some decoys and the magnet out, they did not even look at my decoys, just landing in the middle of the field then up in one big flock and back to the woods behind me, next plan, I decided to stand in front of the big wood and take them as they came over, this spooked them a bit and they split up, the next hour and half I had some shooting and managed to kill 14. There's been a fair bit of sowing this last week or so and the pigeons that were on the rape 2 weeks ago are now on these sown fields and doing much the same on all of them. There's some big numbers about at the minute and think when all this corn germinates they will move back to the rape, I hope.

Hardly the nationwide protest they talked about, perhaps they thought better of it.

Were there any reports of protests, not seen anything on the news?

Or just drill another hole in the decoys and use some round dowelling.

They could be old Jack Pyke decoys...here are some pegs...https://www.boxz.co.uk/products/decoy-pegs-sprung?srsltid=AfmBOopkiVpp5zKyNOk9hYaDTJu5_MHy2pNASs43lYDi-nYl1ePK-wmD
