kaunda Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 From the Humber to Rutland Water via A15,A46 and A1,Wed a.m .Barely a dozen pigeons seen,plenty of road kill,-strangely mainly cock pheasants,one fox and a badger-unusual lack of kestrels along' motorways',odd buzzards and corvids but mountains of roadside rubbish,seems no-one picksit up anymore .Return journey this a.m. in moderate fog,again no pigeons anywhere,noted some corn still to come in,drilling going on apace. 160 plus miles,less than a score of pigeons.Are they nearing extinction in Lincs,Notts and Rutland or was I just unlucky ?

kennett Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Lived in Notts for 24 years, and never used to see pigeons like I do in here in Suffolk, or in Leicestershire where my wife is from. Whether it's farming, woodland or what I don't know. But shot 5 days this harvest, and had 3 100+, and will hopefully get decent bags on rape later on. But used to be Happy with 30/40s at home.
