The racing pigeon is full of protein for the falcon and an easy target when flying in a batch ,but they will kill whatever to survive ,It has been witnessed at nest sites remains of crow lapwing seagull duck which is a favourite all we are doing is providing an easy option each training toss nod race day to a point where it is fast becoming cruelty .

Well done Jim Looks like a hard race

Very Interesting Post I race my widowers on Gerry plus and commented to a top widowhood fancier earlier this year that something was not quite right as they were leaving far to much maize ,he thought there should not be a problem but when I still noticed the birds were not eating certain grains I stopped using it ,other years it has been excellent . Very surprised the way the bags are double sealed there being insects inside but if so very disturbing and would be contacting the supplier direct with batch number to highlight problem .

Well done Andy Posted SAE for advice on how to win

Well done Davy

Good luck lee Excellent flying

Think you did Walter weather closed in for 1/2 hour when birds were in the area hundreds flying around Moffat then weather cleared and so did the doos mate said he saw large group come out of valley which from that direction would have been Ayrshire doos I would have thought omo

Heard unc only liberated so many lorries as weather was closing in and rest held till tomorrow

Newmains Walter

Dull dampish start here

Yes good luck to you Gareth When the Lanarkshire doos exit the valley onto open moorland if they do not swing for Appleby and Penrith it is of no great importance as they would continue into the otterburn area and home,that's where it can become sticky for the solway youngsters they have got to break to the left. Atb mick

Lanarkshire had good race from there Derek ,lots of solway fanciers been complaining for months about this one but was passed at agm biggest problem with agm's people put there hands up and have not a clue of location Flying with crows springs to mind lol Our clubs top yb flier worked down there and he is sending 3 Time will tell my friend

Ingleton with Solway Fed Some club mates refusing to send after getting hammered with old birds from same location checked out on google earth frightening only one way out, with most saying they got 90+% back last week will be interesting to see the birdage this week ?

Another tonight Wing stamped Scottish midland fed Airdrie & district Plain su SU 13 - 3034. Good condition The 3 will be liberated Abington services Saturday good luck

The nights sure are getting shorter now darkness already descending Tossed the doos today few miles south of the fechan approx 23mls Put them up every 6minutes in 4's all cleared very well was a really big batch exercising to the north of them the idea was for the tots in the group to join them and work the last 20mls on there own Worked as planned all racers home tots have been working north all day got one at 8-30 tonight 3 to come but good learning routine had couple of fechan doos up but when put up headed back to the holly grail so a good wee 40mls trip for them still on lookout at window as fancied another before dark another few weeks and we will be planning ahead for next season where has the year went lads .

Applies to lots of men I know but fortunately not this one god never made enough years tae change my ways

Happy Birthday All
