big simmo999 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Been shooting on laid barley today and not even seen a single youngster which is a bit worrying anyone else seen many young birds around? I drove from yorkshire to rutland water all down the A1 - never saw a bird! acres of rape - but no birds! In years gone by there would have been loads flying over the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M ROBSON Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Young birds appear in every bag we shoot now to varying degrees. Even after the 2 bad winters we had we were shooting young birds after weeks of sub zero temperatures and deep snow. January 2010. Young woodie in the snow. by mj robson, on Flickr January 2011.
