mikee Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 the number of pigeons around me have exploded in the last couple of weeks, fields that had a couple of dozen on now have hundreds, they seem to be every where, no big flocks yet but lots of small groups flighting into the 1/2 dozen fields i sat and watched today while out and about, bags of 100+ would have been possible on each field, not my ground i was just parked up watching mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny_blaster Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) The birds have already started flocking up here. Seen alot of birds in groups between 50-100 cheers Ben Edited October 4, 2009 by bunny_blaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseaDavid Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 There are plenty of birds in my area, we only shot 107 yesterday and I shot 43 the day before. I have noticed that they are starting to group up abit more now and they are certainly hitting the rape. Nearly all the farms I have been on so far this week have all stuggled to get their drilling done and there is so much seed laying about that the pigeons are getting an easy meal and they are moving off the rape and on to the drillings again.
