M ROBSON Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Here in Fife they are on a big mixture of stuff. They aren't fully switched on to cerials yet and we've been getting good bags on greens also. Chickweed, Clover, Broccoli, blown winter barley. Haven't seen any on Wheat yet, just the chickweed in flood holes. Starting to get more showing up on blown barley and I've got several farmers who are just waiting for a dry day with winter barley ready to cut now. Cheers, Mark.

M ROBSON Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I wish we had swathed rape around here, very few farmers here swath it now. I don't even have a single field of peas either this year that I know of (100 farms), yet up around perth I saw plenty when the game fair was on. Cheers, Mark.

billbroon Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Feeding on flattend winter barley at my place, trust the field to be to close to road and village. Barley getting cut in a couple of weeks though if weather holds so should get some good shooting in a few other fields. Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 The pigeons and crows here are feeding every day on the ploughed in rape stubble. So many crows :o . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyR Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Black vermin in droves on the Barley stubble. Pigeons on the Barley stubble but not in great numbers. Some on the tramlines in the wheat and rape. Just started cutting the rape round here so they will be on that soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
