Beardo Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Beans are coming down today on one of my permissions, let's hope the missus is being understanding this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Keep an eye on it mate... They've already done all the beans and pea's round 'ere - not a bird in sight. Too much stubble about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 The birds have ignored the harvested peas and bean fields in my area, they seem to be obsessed with disced stubbles and unfortunately there are acres of those, so they are spoiled for choice. Very difficult to shoot any numbers at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 our local estate is well known for its inept farming and were still combining one wheat field last week. I walked over it and the number of heads on the ground was amazing and seems to have most of the counties pigeons on it now. Even had about 150 canadas on it this morning which is very rare for our area. Sadly it won't be getting shot over as its one of the main partridge drives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev 1 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 The beans on my permission are rock hard, is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyR Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Apparently so. The ones round me are grown as pig feed and are left to dry on the plant. I guess so they don't go mouldy when stored. Where in Wilts are you by the way? cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
