Cranfield Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 From your story, it seems that your shooting stopped early in the afternoon. This is quite common, in fact in my experience its what normally happens. The birds have probably had enough food and are going off to rest (feeding can be hard work), or perhaps they want water. Its hard to tell, but there isn't a shooter here that hasn't suffered with the 2pm blues. There is often another burst of feeding, just before they go off to roost.

jonno 357 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 The pigeon are now feeding all day and are feeding as late as 430 pm. I was at Malton this afternoon as witnessed a feeding frenzy of 1000 plus woodies on OSR this late in the afternoon Tip Stay out as late as posssible. The crows are feeding when its almost dark jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reubs Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 hi. when i have been out ifound that they have three feeding spells first thing, mid day then late eavning. i ques this is so that they can go of and diggest there food. my advice is to just sit and wait for them to come back. or the other thing that might be happening is that they<ve just had enough of the noise and r feeding somewere else. reubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big simmo999 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Jonno - you know that you are not allowed to be out late - especially if it's a full moon - you grow all hairy and start howling and chasing sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
