JDog Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 For the last two evenings between 4 and 7 I have watched an amazing line of wood pigeons. During the flight there has been at least two birds per minute on the outward line with occasional groups of ten to twenty pigeons. Had I arrived at a field ready to shoot and seen this I would have worried about having enough cartridges. However I will not be shooting as I am staying in the middle of nowhere in South east Mallorca surrounded by forestry. Yesterday I could stand it no longer and after appeasing my wife I set off to follow the line to see what the attraction was. Two sweaty miles later the line came to an end in a field of unharvested beans which had 300 pigeons in it. My wife thinks I should be renamed Billy Bonkers. There may be more than an element of truth in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hitman Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Interesting story, as I was in Santa Ponsa Mallorca a few years back, and watched a cracking flightline of woodpigeons. By the third day a local shooter must have spotted them, and had about 5 hours shooting. Hitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Yesterday was our last day in Mallorca and at 5pm my wife asked if I would like to spend an hour or so by the pool. 'Good idea' I said, knowing full well that the flight line really gets underway at about that time and it passes right over our rustic rural hotel. In the first hour I saw 120 pigeons on the line, a line which was no more than 200m wide. Some of you will be thinking that I really should be looking at this............... But I was really looking at these............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
