birdsallpl Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Like most I guess, we have recently started to see flocks of wood pigeon in our area. My question is: Do you believe they are only the resident birds that are now beginning to flock and are moving onto the rape. Or do you believe they are birds that have migrated into the UK from colder climates looking for winter feed. I personally think that every year there are a lot of birds that migrate here and they are different to our resident birds in their behaviour etc. .I know that this has always been debated, but am interested if anyone has any firm knowledge or experience. Or even just personal views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdsallpl Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hi ditchman, I recall the one about pigeons migrating out of the Uk to southern countries. But couldn't find one specifically about birds migrating in and staying here for the winter from northern countries. Probably the same outcome anyway.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
