tomp875 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Managed to resist having a pop at some pigeons on barley today about 50 lifted when I walked over, hoping the numbers build up for Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I don't know if anyone on this forum shoots near the Hunstanton area, but I saw many hundreds of pigeons dropping in on some wheat in Old Hunstanton and almost as many on some holes in some barley at Heacham. Both fields are easily visible on the A149. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aga man Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Nice one ditchman, if it's anything like our our barley the amount of feeding birds is multiplying daily. Hope you get the chance to fill your boots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both fields are easily visible on the A149. had the wheat gone down or were the birds dropping on to it and pushing it down..........all the wheat around here is all straight up birds are not interested in it...only touching the barley..

Not too sure, but the wires across the field were full and pigeons were everywhere. Every day I see more and more pigeons on the cereals.
