HIDENSEEK Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Which just goes to show what many on here say, you need to look at the fields at different times of day. Well done for sticking it out & keeping the farmer happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin.y Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 sounds to me like this field is near a major roosting wood. come out from roosting and have a feed get disturbed move fiurther afield where they hare not disturbed and on their way home drop in for a final feed. would be worth finding field or fields they are feeding on the rest of the day and either set bangers out if possible or get someone else to shoot it, if possible. Any sunny days they seam to be feeding on clover in grass land at the moment , this will more than likley change with the dry weather and seed being planted all over the place.
