unapalomablanca Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I was driving past some woods and saw loads of little grey bodies eating away at the food on the floor. It was a load of woodpigeons just like you would see on a field, birds galore. Ive never seen them like this before and they were surrounded by rape fields! Great sight!!

Harnser Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yes you are correct and that is why they are called wood pigeons . Woodies natural habitat for feeding is most certainly in the woodlands .There is a host of food for them to eat in the trees and bushes just to name a few ,acorns ,beech nuts ,hazel nuts ,chestnuts ,all the Berry's found in woodland ,leaf buds .pine shoots .etc,etc, .Yes the deciduous woodland is a real larder for the canny old wood pigeon and generally he wont come out of the woods until he has cleared up all the pickings .

shoughton Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 yes there sure are busy hoovering up the acorns at the minute and when there all gone they will hit the rape fields I guess We're all waiting for that! May take a while though - never seen so many acorns as I have this year. Some huge ones too. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
