JDog Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 We have just driven through Burnham Market on our way to Holkham. Just outside Burnham there was a field of harvested sugar beet. On one half of the field were 300 pigeons and many joining, on the other half of the field were 400 pinks. Under strong instructions I have left my gun at home.

pigeon controller Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Before they closed the Sugar processing factory at Kidderminster we had some great days on harvested beet before we went onto the rape. JDog go and charm them into letting you shot just for one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a very similar thing recently, less than a mile from the marsh I frequent. This particular field held a few more pinks and a few less pigeons,though.

JDog Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Today passing the same field there were 1,000 pinks and no pigeons. That was an impressive sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Well I have been trying to hit on a pigeon infested field since August to no avail. Today and two days last week on the Estate where I was beating it would have been possible to have had a lot of shooting with birds zipping over dry stone walls like driven grouse, in fact the pigeon seemed to be on the wing all day. Today they were landing on a barley stubble which they shared with numerous crows, five swans and a number of pinks which continued to drop in even after a pheasant drive in the vicinity.
