OK,  so im new to this this year, so i thought this amount of pidgeons must be usual.
But no,  an established holder at my site cant believe how much he is loosing to them this year.

There is a hell of a lot off them, white marks on neck i believe means wood pidgeon.

AND another thing, where are all the sparrows, there used to be thousands when i was a kid, thirty years on and i see more robins!

praps the pidgeons ate them!!??*!?
When the sun shines i dig,
When rain pours i dig
When the wind blows---I SURF.

I said in another thread about pigeons and how to prevent damage - nets, nets & more nets.

WG came up with high velocity lead projectiles, but not all of us have access to these!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
