ditchman Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 We are now loosing the big flocks here, in my area...and the birds are breaking up and starting to hit the hedgrows big time ( hedge lines with big mature trees in them) There is only one thing they are hammering, and that is the IVY BERRIES.... im going to drill a small half inch hole in one of the feeding trees and put a flapper in it.....i did this last year and had some cracking sport all my shots were birds coming straight in to me...all i did was to take the nets and a flask and a chair ..wrap the net around me and keep my head down until they were commited..............

JDog Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I thought that pigeons had finished with ivy berries this winter but obviously not. However due to pigeons and fieldfares the hawthorn berries have taken a hammering and there are very few left here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
