I was over in Scarborough yesterday and there was a huge flock of pigeon in the air just as you come into the town where the fishing lake is. Must have been 300 plus in the sky.

If they are coming into your fed splash to eat the food you have put in then that is where you should shoot !...…..I take it they are coming in on an evening ?...…..As it gets darker you can pretty much crouch /stand by the waters edge, I have found duck pretty forgiving as the darkness creeps in.....best of luck and let us know how you get on.

My problem is that I have to walk it in, no vehicle access, can get 6 sacks of barley there but how long would the last ?.....i know it depends how many duck you have coming in.....but thought maybe paper sacks would start coming apart in 6 weeks time and a sack poured on top would help them break them up.... Only can get barley on the pond Ken, 6 sacks how long would that last ?

I have a pond, middle of nowhere on a west coast island. Only visit every 6 weeks and can’t put an auto feeder out as not enough capacity and salt in air has **** them before......great area for teal and mallard and my mate has suggested putting a load of barley in potatoe sacks which should rot down in water within weeks for when we return and keep the birds interested .......hmm hmm comments please......

One in fenn trap this morning. 1552

One Carrion yesterday Total 538

Had a spotted flycatcher sitting on eggs against the side of the house...…..came out this morning and the nest had been ragged out and eggs gone...…..crow, magpie, squirrel...…..who knows …...

Have a slight fishy tang to them I find, bit like a cross between a swan and a cormorant I find..

Nice write up, go again.....

Had this off a greylag I shot a few years back, was 6 years on from it being ringed as an adult...…………..it went for burgers !

Double barrel by name double barrel by nature......
