| supposedly not graham, this is why the hawks are growing in numbers because farmers have been stopped spraying with certain chemicals....... |

your thoughts david are the same as mine i haven,t got a bloody clue , as i have fields all a round me for miles its very hard to stop the pigeons going on there even when they have every thing in the loft they need . im just hoping it pee,s it down and and washes most of it way i can,t afford any thing to happen to the birds at this time of the season at the moment there on lock down in the loft . |

| i don,t think so david , it was just i was in down the loft on sunday and saw him spraying the field
he might have done it in the past and not been there when he did it , once the field starts to grow i will be ok to let the birds out if not i will just take them on a few chucks . |
