  • Geoff Garrod is back in the pigeon hide, shooting over freshly-drilled wheat. The birds have been absent from his part of Essex all summer. He uses all of his autumn tactics to bring them in.

    Why shoot pigeons?
    The woodpigeon is recognised as the UK’s number one agricultural pest and causes millions of pounds of damage (AHDB consultation 10-40% loss in yield. Equivalent loss of £125/ha for Oil Seed Rape, £250/ha for peas, £350-£1250/ha for brassicas) to agricultural crops every year including cereals, brassicas, oilseed rape, peas and salad crops. Pigeon damage reduces the yield, quality, appearance and ultimately the saleability of the crop. Pigeons can also cause damage in gardens and allotments - pecking at the leaves and ripping off portions, often leaving just the stalks and larger leaf veins. They may also attack and strip buds, leaves and fruits off trees and bushes.
    The UK woodpigeon population was last estimated at 5.4 million pairs in 2009. Densities of wood pigeon are the highest in Eastern England, coinciding with the highest concentration of horticultural production.
    Wild pigeon (game) is natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It’s low in cholesterol and high in protein… and, quite simply, delicious. ‘m’

    That's a hell of a lot of saved grain.

      Ukraine’s grain harvest is down by 13 million tons. An awful lot of people are going to go hungry this winter. 30% of their exports go to Europe, 30% to North Africa and 40% to Asia. Next year’s crop will be a lot smaller and with it, famine for vulnerable countries.
