Solway seem to be having a stinker out of charnock richard with fanciers i have spoken to with less than a quarter home i had 2-13 got another just now over an hour behind first 2 - nightmare Got one also that has been missing 3 weeks .

Correction the strays all end up in Blairlogie Lofts 5 star b&b

Have a Great Day Folks

Good Luck Today John Lovely clear conditions compared to yesterday but certainly woolly jumper weather at present .

Lockerbie rpc 8 members sent 211 to charnock richard

The sun has not showed itself from behind the hills yet but it is a very good morning with excellent visibility and large patches of blue sky the north wind is fresher than forecast at present with a feel of autumn .

Wonderful Reply in fact common sense ,even us who are still working have ets we own our own lorry bet returns would greatly improve with yb's bet it does'ent happen to many dyed in the wool or lack of grey matter .

Weather closing in here trying hard to rain very dull

No if it was sitting on beattock summit Derek

Your right there Jim ,only thing rare down here is me timing a winner

Used to be a member of the anglo scottish midweek club which i though was a great idea with the possibility of my birds once the carlisle birds had arrived home coming the last 40 mls on there own,they then changed the goalposts and started racing on a saturday which defeated the hole purpose of me joining however with this weather struggling to get any racing .

Working in one of the valleys near moffat just now and have been on the lookout for the osprey that visits the town ,she duly obliged last night and gave away her whereabouts ,took my spy glass today and must say she is a wonderful wonderful bird was also sitting there tonight the show off ,certainly brightens up a dreary morning

Solway fed marking delayed 24hrs .

I'm thinking along the lines of the wild falcons as to get a true reflection on there numbers .

As we fellow pigeon fanciers from all over the uk purchase our rings via our unions each year and all is documented,What about all the rings that are supplied to put on the young peregrine falcons Who makes them ? Who distributes them ? Who documents them ? Who pays for them ? How many are actually supplied each year and to which area's specifically ? Would be very interesting to find out the true figure's

Oramec (ivermectin) Sheep Drench,Kills everything on them and everything in them ,if your down this way pop in and get some as the ltr i bought runs out of date on jan 2013 enough left to do 1000's foc mate .

The lads that are working there from moffat have now became avid convoyers and are each taking turn in lib the doos, The following will be released tomorrow morning approx 7am Good Luck SU 10 AV 3552 SU 12 AV 2618 SU 12 A 4511 GB 12 C 31643 GLASGOW PHONE NUMBER GB 12 C 31265 GLASGOW PHONE NUMBER All birds were dipped along with my own race team this morning in a wonderful product and are shining like shillings

God no's where they get to,I have 2 glasgow 1 ayrshire 1 almond valley plus 1 almond valley yearling in plus had the 2 solway one's on sat night lots have falcon injuries during the season birds getting scattered to the four corners,until we hire a light aircraft to film and follow a liberation of youngsters we are all just guessing ,Good Luck with your missing Doos .

Returned a bird that came into me sat night to a friend in dalbeattie which lie's in the west of our region he still has 31 missing from garstang ,he said he had 6 birds drop to him late sat night only one of his he could make out 3 of the rings before they all took of 2 were gb12d the other lanarkshire we lib 2-30 you went 3-30 a lot of birds could not have cleared if they were mixing with this length of time between liberations spoke to others with big losses our club has come of not to bad with some 4-5 missing others just 1 or 2 and some with full returns

100% PEREGRINE FALCON,Bred and raced the doos since the early seventies purchased 30 rings yb's raced the programme would be left with approx 24 ish ,could then plan there future which would go to the coast as yearlings and in the days when eddie Newcombe ran the midweek specialist club your yearlings could fly dorchester 3 times,if you got a good one from the channel as a 2yo you could place a fair bet it would do better at 3 and 4yo,Training i would go to shap twice a week leaving my parents when it was still dark get down to shap 60mls liberate then travel back home for breakfast before heading to work the birds were always all home by then,got to laugh at these statements now regarding solar flares etc because if my memory serves me correctly the sun was there all those years ago and the birds did not get lost as they do now,when my yb,s were attacked last week by 5 peregrine I witnessed them being knocked to the ground and every time they tried to get airbourne and head back to the loft be targeted again took the last one's one and a half hours to make it,now just picture that happening from say 100,200 500mls from home,every saturday the birds going through that are being struck in the hills return to the town and will not then face the hills thats why my stray basket is nearly full again,No other reasons from me gents 100% FALCON.
