Paul taylor Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Had a few hours to kill today so had a run down to the farm. hardly owt about really but what was flying seemed to be crossing a point where there is a big fuel bowser sat in a field so thought I'd chance it and stick a few crow and woody decoys out and sit between bowser and hedge with tall barley in field behind and grass/chick weed in field with decoys. Pigeons didn't play ball with most coming from behind and seen too late to shoot but had a few crows decoy nicely. Ended with 1 jackdaw and 2 carion crows, 1 with a lot of white on wing feathers don't know why this is? Also dropped a nice pigeon came straight at me head on like a bat out of hell but it dropped behind bowser in barley and I wasn't goin to spend 10 mins flattening the crop looking for it. 4 birds for 8 shots 1 being a follow up on the jackdaws hence it's ruffled look, full choke at 10m does that! So only 3 misses and a lovely sunny day too happy shooter Edited April 29, 2014 by Paul taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdsallpl Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 1 with a lot of white on wing feathers don't know why this is? Carrion crows will interbreed with Hooded crows but never seen any Hoodys in South Yorkshire so doubt it. Quite a few individuals of the black varieties have natural pigments that develop the odd white feather. We used to have a black bird in my garden that had a lot of white on it. It was around for a couple of years and got quite tame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
