Heavy rain shower ,hopfully clearing soon

Its still Tuesday down here Sapper

Well done gareth a good clear winner ,blood always tells in a north wind ,Regards to your Father .

No need to worry about naturals as i only put mine in a section of there on a week ago ,i find the stronger they are as long as they are out each day in a temp cage to see about ,at this stage i close the sliding doors with bob wires fitted at feeding time then cox them from outside with a brush shank to go through for there feed ,if they are not going in like rockets after the third night they are thick or being fed to much ,i then only after this stage let them out when they are ready to take to the sky's straight away don't worry if half disappear as they will all return find they fly and batch in half the time on this system ,good luck .

I'm on a weeks holiday and its

Some friends of mine who are working on the motorway extension in glasgow will be liberating these pigeons tomorrow (monday) at approx 7 am All Blue hens SU 10 B 338 SU 10 CA 1223 GB 10 S 78717 GOOD LUCK

Missed last week so well pleased this week 190 miles into a NW took 3rd and 9Th club with only getting 10 miles overfly from lockerbie going the east route when it is 17 miles straight up the motorway seems to be leveling out as the distance increases so by the time we reach the gold cup should be taking the red

Cold nw wind here at present overcast rain not far away .

Clocked yesterday just under the five hours from a 6-45 lib at Newark 188 mls took 3rd & 10th club sent 9 cocks all home in good time ,sent 9 hens only got 2 and they were also in excellent condition gappy race with few good birds missing at club . Birds from either midland or glasgow feds worked through moffat and on up through the hills in one's and two's all afternoon in what was a very strong nw wind hope they made it

No watched it since ABBA won

Sent 9 cocks and 9 hens kept one at home part of tail missing showboating in front of peregrine

Agree there Gareth,Saturday by far the best day Especially early libs .

Yes your right there Steven NW wind will sort them out ,my birds are flying really well and disappearing when let out so if they cannae face a NW in this condition they never will looking forward to the race with sensible velocities gives me a chance up here ,thanks regarding the wife she has good and bad days at present .

Right at the top of the fed result last week stevie ,thats the game keep them going good luck .

Used to basket train the youngsters to drink many years ago ,but in recent years never bothered and had every bit as good results so don't think it makes any difference i think if they have a brain they will find the water after all how did they find it when basket trained ?

Very strong west wind here at present and freezing bloody cold .

Having missed last weeks race due to the wife being taken into hospital ,they all go this week regardless of weather getting to far down the road now to be sitting at home on a perch if they were oil paintings they would be on the loft walls ,bred to fly so fly they will .

Looking at the bhw we have 2 feds sitting with us and 12 to the north all going south and we will be hoping ours stick to north awful lot of pigeon traffic down A1

Just weaned them tuesday forty in total eating and drinking first class and already fighting for perches, on holiday next week so will train them to exit the bay windows through the bob wires at feeding time (bet it rains for a week )

Having been either secretary president or clocksetter for the past near on forty years i for one appreciate all the hard work that is needed ,if someone like joe is willing to give up his on personal time to promote the pigeon sport here in scotland free of charge he should be applauded for all his efforts Well done to the gentleman for what makes fantastic reading ,to much negative stuff nowadays lads ,we are only here once so lets make the best of it

Birds cant be judged as they used to , to many hazards to contend with ,no of pigeons that have won nationals from 600 mls having never been in a race result till then ,some birds respond to a change of system ,every dog has its day some dogs just need more days omo

Torrential rain and strong wind
