I was out last week on another futile pigeon shooting trip. I had already sat in my hide for an hour without a shot when I noticed a few pigeon dropping on the field about 1000 yards away. Decide to pack up and move to where they were feeding. As i set up a dog walker was walking around the field. He wasn't on a foot path but exchanged pleasantries and wished me good 'hunting'. I think he was Scandinavian. Anyway I sat in my hide and not a pigeon in sight. I then saw the dog walker heading back across the middle of the field (this time on the foot path). Next thing I saw was a covey of Partridge heading my way. I was fortunate to get a left and right and went to pick them up. I was surprised to see they were Greys. The next day I dressed them out and was shocked to see they had rape in their crops!! Is this a common food source for English Partridge? By the way I think Grey Partridge must be one of the tastiest game birds far different from the French variety.
