  1. I had spotted a field of growing greens (a field I have shot before) with a massive amount of pigeons taking an interest. Jules (Muncher) had seen the same field and decided to ask the farmer for a shot. The farmer surprising obliged. The crop appears to be broccoli. Jules invited to me to join him and we arranged to meet at 9am yesterday. He arrived at the field before me, only to find a few dead birds and empty shells left behind by someone else.. Jules seemed disheartened by the fact that someone had so recently shot there, but I was much more optimistic. The way the pigeons were starting to turn up, I was certain we'd shoot a few. We put out a couple of magnets and a flapper and settled into the hide. We didn't have long to wait before the first customers arrived. We had a few in the bag quickly, with barely anything being missed. I changed the position of one of the magnets to better suit the approach of the majority of pigeons. This immediately improved things. A few dead birds added improved matters further still. Jules was being beaten up by the comb of the borrowed gun he was using - an egg rapidly rising on his cheek. Using my O/U didn't help, either, so he went on to use my Mossberg silenced .410. Jules' hit rate was not his usual high standard like when he uses a 12, but he shot pretty well, nonetheless. I also shot a few nice birds with the .410 later on. The practice on clays has paid off. Fifty were down after the couple of hours and the action showed no sign of relenting. It was interesting to see bunches of up to fifty strong flying around. After an extremely quiet May, it was certainly nice to really get back amongst the birds. After we packed up we put up a good few hundred off the far corner of the field - there are still a huge number of birds in the area. If we had both been using 12s for the whole day, I'm sure we would have had 175. It was still a hugely enjoyable day and 150 pigeons killed.
