That's the general feeling round here in Norfolk. A couple of decades
back the farmers would have regular organised county-wide woodpigeon
shooting days. That doesn't seem to happen now, and we do have many more
pigeons around. You sometimes see vast flocks of them feeding in fields,
and there are definitely more making a nuisance of themselves in our
garden than there used to be when we moved here in 1980.


By 'nuisance' do you mean that they're eating your vegetables?

That's the only sort of nuisance I can think of. I net my (admittedly small)
vegetable plots to prevent that.
