CORVID DAYS

 On our open ground pig farms these birds eat vast amounts of food intended for the animals the cost of which runs into 10’s of £000’s whilst their droppings contaminate even more food and the water supplies. The damage they do to the surrounding crops and woodland habitats which has at long last been acknowledged by NE and the risks they pose to some of our rarer bird populations is incalculable. On one of our main shooting areas Lapwings, Curlew and Stone Curlew are particularly at risk as are many smaller songbird populations to say nothing of the threat to breeding game birds.

Come and join us.

We have permanent hides sighted under and close to the birds main flightlines around a large area of the farms that run open area pig units and we will in many instances deploy decoys to attract the corvids. Not an easy task as they are among the most intelligent species of the avian world but when the youngsters have fledged that is the best time to catch them out before they become as wise as their parents.

There are spaces for up to six Guns per day (single Guns and part-teams are welcome to make up daily numbers) and we’ll be out  early mornings  and/or late afternoon.

We are booking days now.
