I am now back into full pigeon shooting mode, as another wildfowling season has come to a close. I have been having a bit of a dabble at the pigeons in the last few weeks, but my biggest bag has been just 18, flighting in a wood (spectacular sport though it was). I have been keenly keeping my eye out for pigeon activity, and I have been surprised at just how many of them there are at the moment. It seems everywhere I go I am seeing flocks numbering several hundred. I drove past the most distant farm I shoot, just after 3.30pm today. I saw at least a couple of thousand go to roost along a two mile stretch of road. Also, some of the rape fields that seemed previously devoid of birds have now got a few hundred on. We all know, though, that seeing them and shooting them are completely different matters. However, I am confident that this will be a good year around my area of Norfolk for pigeon shooting.
