Cranfield Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 dead-eye, if you didn,t understand. Yorkshire is referring to the farmer discing in the rape stubble. If its left and it rains, all the spilt seed starts to sprout little rape plants. PIGEONS LOVE ,EM !! :( Hard bit is trying to get the farmer to leave the field alone for a week or two.

Malc Posted August 3, 2002 Report Share Posted August 3, 2002 While shooting today nearby a rape stubble field, we saw very heavy pigeon activity. Several hundred birds down at any one time. They were moving in and out of the field via several very clear strong flightlines and in flocks ranging from 1 to about 50. Unfortunately, we didn't have permission on that land and were confined to taking only a few stragglers from a field further down one of the flightlines. Nightmare!
