This year on our allotment,pigeons have been eating everything that is

to be any predators around ,such as large birds of prey.
Apart from *netting more and more,has anyone found a successful way to
keep them away?

We have this problem Herefordshire every year. I have a homemade
plastic mesh cage over my entire veg. garden. It's not altogether a
good thing, I get snow damage nearly every year. (Weight of snow on
the net rips it.)
You can try bird scarers. Scarecrows, dangling Cd disks etc. but you
need to change them regularly or they become ineffective. Or the
propane bang scarer if you have no neighbours.
