Jacko3275 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Me and Jdog set of out this morn to look at an influx of migrant birds the birds where there but they didnt seem to have a pattern as to where or what they wanted to do so we decided to leave them and go to some bean stubble fields 5 side by side ... when we arrived there was a lot of birds sat up in the boarder one ash tree had about 60 sitting in it and the field nearest this we saw maybe hundred lift with lines all around this area we decided to set up near the ash tree 2 hides one magnet few dead bird on sticks and a dozen shells ...With the amount of bird in the area I was that confident of a good bag I put a full slab in the hide this turned out to be a waste of energy as the birds just weren’t decoying and seem to prefer to go to another field we got 3 pigeon and a corvid we new this was going to be tricky with the amount of food available over a large area... as it was getting on a bit we decided against setting up elsewhere and decided to stand in a hedge and flightline a few we ended up with another 9 birds and everyone one of those took were memorable shots which made the day better always nice to be out in good company but it’s nice to get a few as well Edited October 10, 2020 by Jacko3275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodhopper Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Always a little disappointing when they don’t play ball. I drive past those fields on my way to work each day and there have been a promising few there for a while, I was sure there was a decent bag to be had.

It’s that silver truck of mine the birds see it in Lincolnshire north south east or west and they decide to do one and avoid where we set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
