Having a look around my area it would appear that we have a low acorn crop this year which either means that the will be on the rape early or move to the woods with a better crop. What is the crop like in your area?

you always seem to shoot birds on the rape even when there is a good acorn crop anyway so won't effect you pc lol

Birds in my area were showing signs of leaving the stubbles in favour the woods last week. Very few about this week and by the time today had come around they had vanished. Even fresh cut barley was not enough to pull them away from the protein rich calorific banquet on offer now from mother nature. They are well and truly on acorns and beechmast. I probably won't get much in way of shooting for about 6-8 weeks. By then it will be nearly time for the migrants. My favourite time of year for pigeon shooting. Big flocks, full plumage, strong birds that have crossed the sea to escape the winter, strong winds, short days. Can't wait!!!!
