It is a light buff-brown dove with distinctive black neck ring and wing tips. In shape like a turtle dove, it is larger and easily identified by its size and lightness of colour. It can legally be shot and, although it is more common around farmyards, it does venture out into open fields. Since farmers have had to protect corn effectively in their barns from pests the population of these opportunistic birds has declined. So, to summarise, those species that can be shot are the woodpigeon, feral and collared dove.
With the vast acreage now grown from the South Coast to as far north as Invernesshire in Scotland, the pigeon has a nutritious and widely available food source in all but the harshest winter conditions, when it is covered by deep snow. It has been shown that pigeons do not just survive but thrive on winter rape leaves and come out of the winter in excellent condition without loss of weight. As a result, severe winters are no longer the controlling factor and the woodpigeon population is as high now as it has probably ever been.
The young squabs’ growth rate varies considerably dependent on the nutritional content of the food available. Cereals are particularly important to provide this quality of feed. In practice this means that birds of the spring and early summer broods, when cereals are not yet available, can take up to thirty-three or thirty-four days to fledge. However, those hatched from July to October are heavier at any age and can fledge in only sixteen to twenty days (Murton 1965). Furthermore, 60% of young that hatch early will die of malnutrition before July.
