    the stubbes are usually played out around this time but its not uncommon to find them feeding on them seen about a few hundred crows on a stubble today,
    the pigeons are destroying the rape around us at the minute. if you see them feeding on a field you will more than likely pull them in but i wouldnt go setting up on a stubble unless i seen a lot of them coming and going first

    went out on a stubble field sat morning with my new pigeon magnet in hand, conditions were perfect, got 3 in the first ten minutes, that was it!! stuck around for about 2 1/2 hours, there was a few pigoens around but they were just bombing past a mile in the sky, so they're pretty much finished with it where i am anyway
