ollie Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well lads, anyone getting any birds on drilling in Northern Ireland at the moment? I must have covered about 100 miles yesterday and hardly saw a bird. Also what area are you getting them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Out tomorrow, so I will let you know. They have really just started to switch onto drilling. Up until a week or so they were split up feeding on clover and ivy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I generally dont like starting until the combines are going, but I got a call last week asking me to look after a field of peas. I had over 60 in couple of hours, could have easily been a ton if I had of wanted. Too warm I my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Drove about for a few hours yesterday and most of the fields aren't ready yet. I would say it will be towards the end of August before they start cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Marty Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 We hit lucky the other day round Muckamore, but apart from that haven't seen a pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Shot 21 yesterday on standing Barley until rain stopped play. I would probably have ended up with about 50 if the rain hadn't started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
