It has snowed on and off here every day this week with no let up forecast the high hills are pure white got to agree with you all racing should be organised to suit the welfare of the doos as stated yes the seasons are changing for the worse surely common sense should prevail but will it not a hope in hell just because our great ancestors did it this way ,thank christ my youngsters are just hatching out would have hated to be educating them in these conditions ,Good luck to all when summer arrives .

I was at the scotland wales match first game for years was well wrapped up but still got frozen and have felt s--t since knew by what i was watching that yes this is the worst scotland team ever clueless in all area's does'ent even start to describe this bunch of overpayed and underclassed footballers,I followed scotland to world cups and euro championships ok we never got out of the group stages but went o so close many times at least the guys on the pitch had class,Scottish football is in a real mess to many foreign imports where is the young talent that we were assured was going to come good from the likes of lennoxtown and murray park ? Surely the coaching at grass routes has got to be all wrong ?We are now reverting to picking guys back in the team who were not near good enough first time around but who replaces them ? Things are not much better in england with the millions sky are pumping in not one of there so called elite can make this years champions league last eight ? As for england's defending at the goal last night school boy stuff from so called world beaters now am having a laugh ,Wales Ireland all the same as us murder polis ,The sooner a wage structure is in place and they have to work a full day like the rest o us things might just improve Rant Over

Was at a club meeting today when my mate told me he had read a report in a gamekeepers magazine stating that four pairs of peregrine falcons were to be released in the Moffat area and be watched to see if they are successful in setting up new nest sites after the success of three pairs last year that explains why last year one evening when i was exercising the young birds they were attacked by four peregrines and here was me thinking there were no more sites with the near on twenty pairs at present Cant see pigeon racing surviving at this rate having spoken to a friend from the ne who stated he had 3 pairs in close proximity where previously there were none ,I wonder what goal the rspb are trying to achieve ???

Right there its baltic,always thought it was the month of may but got corrected by someone who said it is the mayflower .

Just read it,was in john's company for the afternoon at southport last year a true gent .

What about the years that people clocked using a stall trap whilst they were standing outside clocking in never heard of any complaints there ,at the end of the day if your bird aint up with he leaders it won't matter what system is used ,I for one only wish as much effort was put into eradicating the falcon problem as there is with trivial issues .

Sure my late uncle used lime andy that was 40 + years ago,I have used loft white with no probs but tend to worry lately that being among the birds is starting to affect my health was thinking of purchasing an Aircap has anyone got any Positives or Negatives Regarding Them .

Took the dog for a walk and arrived back home at 7-20 am this morning ,The hen peregrine was hunting directly above me stood and watched it scan the town for a kill it will be trying to build up as much body weight as possible before going to nest then peace for a wee while ,no disrespect tae the man but stevie wonder could have shot the fluker :lol:

Got first eggs from stock today (3)lol,2 sections of widowhood cocks settling down with the hens they have chosen only one section will be allowed to rear a single youngster from the stock loft the other section will be split after sitting 2-3 days ,one further section of widowers that wont see a hen till june,Hens that are being split into new section nearly finished where they will rest all day with no fear of pairing been trying to simplify things for a few years thankfully as good as accomplished ,But as Burns said The Best Laid Plans o' Mice and Men .

Fancied Man U to go through when the draw was first made but after watching Madrid demolish Barca to close to Call Now .

I have never been political infact hate politics ,so me thinks what chance has alex salmond got of a united Scotland if a few doomen cannae get round a table and shake hands
