In all the excitement to me brain out of gear drove off the road into gateway and got the van stuck. B) Abandoned vehicle and marched across field, pushing birds of and set up Can’t really see what the attraction was for the birds as beans were ploughed in and couldn’t see any spilled or uncovered seed. It was slow going but took the first 4 birds with single shots Couldn’t hit a cows a###e after that, then the birds moved into opposite fields and things got quite, ended up with 22 pigeon and 3 rooks But saw many big, big flocks of pigeon about Temperatures dropping, it want be long now chaps before we get some good results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Stan, Weather conditions in your area today were not good, little wind and bright sunshine, good to see a few birds out on the fields as in my area they're scoffing the acorns and beechmast and I reckon we won't see many until late Jan. They do love drilled beans, always a real magnet for 'em, however they mop them up within a couple of days so timing your visit is so important. Cat.
