diddy Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Went to my perm which is mainly rape 3 weeks ago pigeons were all over it now back from my hol and it has grown a fair bit but no pigeons to be seen and this is 3000 acrs rape, where have they gone do they not feed on rape this time of year? I only have 1 pea field which has just started to come through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty* Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 they do feed on rape this time of year, look for low spots witch are growing at a slower rate/ been hit by pigeons. low spots like this can produce good shooting in time to come.

Grandalf Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 East Anglia - Spring drilling of barley and other pigeon goodies in progress. Find new drilling = find pigeons. Not going to eat rape when good grain is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratts Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Ah that explains why I haven't seen many around my 1000 acre perm of rape as well then?! Other farms have been spring drilling like mad round here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickB65 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) We have three rape fields and all are quiet now as the spring drilling has started in earnest. Looking to go out Wednesday for a little sport - thats if the weather is good :-) Edited April 23, 2013 by NickB65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean44 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 once all the new drillings have been mopped up but tha pea field you have got should be worth keeping an eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpman Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 When do you think they will rtn to the rape? When it's cut, no harm keeping an eye on the edges and dwarfed spots mind. Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
