So would you recommend leaving it for a few weeks?

Don’t worry too much about flocks braking up, just look for sown fields and hopefully birds wanting that field.

 

The only way to learn is from your mistakes or successes, so use your eyes and look for birds in the air around field, no one can tell you how long it will be before the birds will hit the sown field maybe the same day or it could be two, three days latter or not at all, but you will know when it is right.

if you have any, look at the fields sown with peas or beans first, not sure why pigeons sometimes go mad for peas or beans, I can only think that because the seeds are large they can fill their crops quickly and get back to the safety of the trees.

Like I have said use your eyes, sit in the car and watch the field for an hour or so, don’t get to excited at the first signs of pigeons don’t rush things, look at the weather forecast for the days you have free and hopefully a windy day (don’t bother getting up if its chucking it down, pigeons not like getting their feet wet if they can help it) try not to shot the field to early in the morning, let the birds get confidant on the field, look to see if they prefer a certain part of the field.

if they are hitting the field walk them off a couple of times before you set-up, there is no text book setup because every time you go out it’s a different day, YOU WILL KNOW WHEN ITS RIGHT.

I am sure there are lots of people who can give you guidance but the only way to learn is to get out there and give it a go, we learn from our mistakes the same way pigeons do!!

Watch the birds and go where they go.
