henry d Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 It seems that there is, at least in our neck of the woods, a glut of small acorns this year and as one farm has many splendid oaks all along the dykes and fences, the birds are feeding well on them. Anyone else noticing this at the moment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Not acorns no, One thing I did notice this morning on my drive to work was the amount of pigeons on the rape though. There were thousands on every field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proTOM1 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 yes been out this morning looking for tomoorow as got a guest coming and found a few on rape but a huge load on a field where they were feeding on acorns think they will be feeding like mad for the next few days as the weather is ment to turn really cold least we can hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
