Cyffyllog Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Not sure where to post this, but it may help some members. I was near Waverham Cheshire today near the river Weaver fishing some pools for Pike and from about 2.30pm until 4pm there was a flight line through the area I was at, groups of from under ten to twenty birds, some groups of fifty to a hundred, passing over 30 yards up, some lower, a constant stream of them. Well over one thousand flying in the general direction of Chester. Have no permission there, no gun, and no Pike either !! tough day but great to see the Pigeons.

cmsds Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 hi we have flocks starting on the rape fields near Alnwick northumberland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caeser Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 To be honest, I don't get excited about the pigeons flocking, because as already has been said, one bang and they're off to another field where no one bothers them. Trouble is, we've got to show the farmers that we're trying. I've had a go today, to no avail. Found a nice rape field ,where the pigeon were just constantly pouring in to it. As soon as we started to set up, they were off and never came back. Didn't really surprise me. There's always another place for them not too far away. I find it much better if you can find a wood where they have an after rape nap. A couple of lofters high up, then hope for the best. Easier said than done I know. Best of luck, we're gonna need it.
