taffygun Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 On the one crop farm that I shoot over the OSR, last year yielded a good season shooting, but that was at the request of the farmer. This year I would like to be able to notice when the pigeons are likely to be coming back. Now its starting to flower(well last week), the fields are a colourful yellow. When are the pigeons likely to start feeding on this crop now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 They will still feed in any low areas, round the headlands and in the tractor tracks. It really does depend on what alternative feeding is available to them locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much nothing for a good few miles(8-10 or so flight miles I expect) But the thing is there have not been any flocks coming into it at all this year. I see the odd one or two and so has the owner but nothing worth writing a book about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Wait until they cut the rape, end of June / July, the birds will flock to it then, but you've got a hard choice to make, because all of the birds will then be feeding young on their nests.
