pigeons on my travels

[pete k]

Hi guys i have been doing a lot of travelling lately and spotted large numbers of pigeons on rape fields so im going to try to help somebody get permission if poss,

first location :- along the m4 corridor from swindon to hungerford if you go on the back road through liddington on the way to aldborne along the B4192 over the m4 and turn next left you will come straight to a set of rape fields that are being hammered with pigeons now i think im right in saying the farm that owns these fields is liddington warren farm which is about 1 mile down the B4192 and the farmer is a bloke called Dennis Ford who is a nice chap, so if your local go and knock on his door, he also has a lot of other fields too. use google earth to see the fields.

 

second location:-

Gloucester if you go along the A436 towards the air ballon pub you will come to the cotswold hills golf club, opposite is a large number of rape fields that today had a large amount of pigeons on them but im not sure which farm they belong to, so if your in the area try knocking on a farmers door to see if you can shoot there, you just never know,

 

I will keep my eyes open for anything more to see if i can help out.

 

Thanks pete

Dennis is really nice but the farm is overshot due to his over kind natural the birds are scare to hell.

 

I have had some real good bags on his farm the field just after liddington a triangle between the village and the M4.

 

Some the fields you mention are not owned by Dennis but by a contract farmer some miles away.

 

Also have you checked with Dennis with ref to putting his name and farm address on a open forum .

 

Regards OTH
