I don't know what is happening at the moment but I am inundated with Wood Pigeons. Between the feeder and the ground there can be up to ten

That is very strange. For me the opposite is true. I usually get three or four and currently there are none. :(

Activity by my Woodies has increased quite a lot over the last 10 days. Normally I have a couple plodding around but this has increased to 4 or 5 most of the time. They are getting quite frisky with one another which suggests nesting will start soon and I think their food source, which is the ivy berries on my back fence, is running low so hunger is driving them to look for seed dropped from the hanging feeders. :nod:

Am getting a regular four at the moment. Could be more, but only by a couple.

The record for the number of Wood Pigeons in my garden stood at 10. Last Thursday the record went up to 11. When I did the RSPB bird count on Sunday the count was 0.

I frequently get 2 or 3. The ferals outnumber them easily.
