Shot shortley Ferretysnapfingerry? No Cocoa old beanbaggle, Wanley Stunwin answerry... Pidey Pipeload of Hamling Eug

I'm retired. I need all you fit young nerks to work like stink and maintain my pension values; so get off this forum and get weaving! Life long career in industrial chemistry. Eug

Chris, Merci mon ami, I'll have a poke round the sites. Eug

Sniper. Stuffim. Well done you! Eug

Ryan, Where were you shooting? we need to know because we are tying to build a national picture. The rest of you nerks...thanks. But keep posting, what you see is important to making all the bits fit together. Eug PS ...Sniper; keep up the good work, and thanks.

What was all that about? Even given that the England individuals are perhaps only just about nearly almost on the verge of being close to International class possibly, they looked awful. Cast your vote ....Sven isn't up to job; can't motivate or enthuse his players, and doesn't have a clear vision. Yea or Nay? Eug

VD and Ern, I know "The Boot". My chum and I used to drop in for a pint on Sundays when we were fishing The Grand Onion above Hatton flight. Wroxall? My first girlfriend was head girl at Wroxall Abbey School (does it still exist?) She lived in Chadwick End which ain't so far away. Eug.

Bandit alert! bandit alert! Like what Nicky said. Eug

Thanks lads, that's interesting already. Not much sign of the Midland birdies getting really stuck into the rape, though some are clearly; but a fair to middling show of ivy berries too. Come on the Jocks, Geordies, Tykes, Taffs, 'Ampshire 'Ogs and Janners; let's know the form. Eug VD. Which Hatton, Warwick or where? I guess the "sweetcorn" was from an old maize game strip.

LB Where when what time? Can I bring a friend? Eug

TG, Too wet here (S Shrops) If you took a tractor on the land you'd lose it PDQ! Eug

norfolk.enchance asked in another thread about ivy berries and if the pigeons feeding on them was a regional thing. Answer...don't know, but how about we find out. In the next couple of weeks, if you get the chance to open a crop or two, post the results here. If we each make a couple of reports we should get a fair snapshot. Just a quick one (as the actress said to the Bishop) I don't believe it's neccessarily a regional issue; ivy grows all over the country. However it's my observation that most ivy grows on oaks, so where you have a lot of oaks you get ivy and pigeon feeding on it; and vicky verky if few oak woods are present in your county then the birds have less opportunity. But let's see eh? I shot four flighting yesterday evening; to kick the ball off here's the result.. Area....South Shropshire No 1..........2/3 rds full crop, exclusively sprouting acorns. No 2..........Bung full (stuffed) crop, mostly beech mast plus a few ivy berries. No 3..........2/3 full crop, wheat plus a dozen ivy berries. No 4 .........Full crop, about half ivy berries, then acorns and beech mast equally Between all four there wasn't a much greenstuff as would fill a teaspoon.

Corky, sums things up very well. That's show business! They are wild birds, so as LB rightly says, keep observing and learning. Regards Eug
