Scottish Bird Nimbers Vs N Ireland Number's

[GEOFF.223 83]

Im from N Ireland and I have never seen the volume of birds or just wildlife in general here compared to the main land.

 

I was over in scotland there for the weekend and as I couldnt sleep at all I said I go a wee scoot for a look about to see if there's muck about.

 

Deer Crow's pigeons pheasant rabbit's and hare's every were, wish I had this at home in N ireland

 

 

I left house this morning at 4 seen a few pulled up field's in the distance so thats were I headed to.

 

I seen 10+ drilled field's covered in crow's and pigeons more so crow's.

 

There is not many crop farmers were I live the nearest place that would have a large amout of crops would be 70+ miles away.

 

No crops = little bird numbers ; (

Aye Scotland got plenty stuff to hunt but a lot of it is let to foreign guns

Im going to go back over soon and ask a few farmers if I cant shoot over there barley.

Its bollocks here in northern ireland

 

Most pigeons I have is 12

And the best crow day I had was 159 4am to 6pm

 

On a average 3-4 hr shoot I would get around 35 crows

 

I dont even like shooting pigeons there that little of them.
