Acorns

[felly100]

Here in Sheffield there have been no acorns this year,has it been

the same elsewhere in the country?My little woodland permission

has been devoid of woodies.

[MerseaDavid]

this year has been the best year for acorns in my area

Im in the staffordshire moorlands and theres no acorns here at all! I have been trying to find out why this is? is it somthing to do with the wet wether we had earlyer on in the year?

 

I would like some expert to explain why this has happond?

[badshot]

Can't explain it but last year in this part of Kent we had no acorns, absolute nightmare keeping the pigeons off my rape. This year we have a massive crop of acorns, so many that a few of the sheep have succumbed to acorn poisoning, and the pigeons have yet to start on the rape.

I can remember some twenty years ago I was on excersie on the black mountains when I was there for two weeks.

Held up in a various locations the valleys around ystradfeltie was loaded with pigeons feeding on acorns.

I was up the north side of fan fawr early in the morning I watched thousands of birds flight at least 2500 ft above sea level .

I watched them with binos and could see them spiral down into the valleys and late in afternoon return back.

Not that I was there to do recce on pigeons.
