Very Heavy here.

Fantastic condition top marks to you .

I feed all stock in the nest from the day they lay until youngsters are weaned this way they never leave nest when being fed makes them all very tame ,youngsters pick up on this very quickly and come to eat with parents straight away at young age if they don't parents are to well fed hate seeing food left just gets soiled and a don't like no one crapping on mine ,seen me leaving young when they are able to fly back to there on nest not troubled with birds being scalped must be they are all contented ,never take them away to young as i find they are more prone to ailments but that's just me everyone to there on .

NOW WE ARE THINKING RSPB WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO CRY ABOUT BECAUSE THEY SAY DONT TAKE OUR RACERS

Was talking to someone who is in the no regarding raptors and remember him saying at the time when they had that dead bird scare in scotland referring to bird flu i think ,and he stated they had put steps into place to vacinate peregrines as they could be in serious danger if it got into there colony ,perhaps all our fundraising Blackpool etc should be put into paying some intelligent twisted person who could develop something for us should be plenty of them about .

Have got a team of 32 latebreds that will only see a basket when the summer weather kicks in and they are fully fit ,will then also go every trainer with youngsters and be liberated next to the convoy prob first four races then be ready as 2yo be happy to have 31 left

Maybe way to go visit sites regular get cams installed would cost them millions lotto lotto nests

Do agree these players need to put there Brain into gear if they got one ,ban seems bit silly as Cole took a gun in didn't see FA do nowt about that one double standards

No all to well how you are feeling i have had years of the same,when the Scottish Homing Union were conducting there falcon and hawk survey one of the fact finding issues were ,how many falcon nest sites do you no of and where are they ,I purchased an ordinance survey map and pinpointed every nest site known to me so as to help fellow fanciers when training as not to liberate in the vicinity,nothing was ever published and when i queried this i was told that the RSPB had informed them this would not be allowed which i think is utter crap We should post locations of sites on these sort of pages and at least give the fellow fanciers that are training there birds a fighting chance i honestly think the time for Mr nicey nicey soft touch pigeon fancier has to end ,Keep your chin up don't let the b---- get you down an eye for an eye .

I will gladly donate a pair of youngsters i will make my phone number available to an administrator and the purchaser will be able to contact me and have his or her preference as i have plenty of quality bloodlines to choose from

They are all a credit to there owners really like pen 5 but have to go for pen 8 fantastic photo of bird outside loft must have got only one chance well done whoever you are .

Was bright-ish start but not looking to good now

Got the 16 boxes made and fitted yesterday for the yearlings they have all chosen a box and are settled in with no fighting in under twelve hours ,can concentrate 100% on race birds now .how i wish everything could go like clockwork .

Welcome to the basics,from Bonnie Scotland

Well done Frank ,very tidy work you will find big difference plenty of fresh air and sunshine (we hope )Fresh air its the best and the only thing we still get for free .

Says Stagecoach on the outside So where the f----- John Wayne .

Got a pick of a latebred in 77 and chose a wf cheq hen ,in the gold cup race of 79 when only 32 birds were recorded on the night out of a convoy of 7500, I clocked 2 and ben clocked three my first one being the wf hen taking second section 11th open just behind the great double gold cup winner jack wylie ben took 3rd section ,i also clocked the first one the next morning just wonderful wonderful pigeons .By the way eddie newcombe won the race that night with a wonderful pigeon .

Head to the workshop in the morning cut and router ply into motivation boxes then remove existing perches fit new boxes total 20 and reintroduce yearlings that will be training with and educating this years youngsters ready for racing themselves next year ,undecided as yet about sat night but heading to carpet bowling tournament Sunday night at lockerbie hope a dinnae draw that hotshot Dal 2

Just need some good doos to go in it then Brian then no holding you back

Just in from finishing a wee job for my cousin the blacksmith and sat down to have a cuppa and read today's RP and BHW got the shock of my life when i reached the back two pages of the RP headlined history corner pages 62 & 63,Ben & Jean Scott of Brydekirk nr Annan.This was the original racing loft of ben who is my cousin and his father my Uncle Donald .My mother was donalds sister they being two of a family of eleven all born in the small village of brydekirk,We as a family used to travel down from the village of Wamphray each sunday to visit my aunt and uncles house and this is where as a young lad i caught the pigeon bug truly great memories ,once i had a loft of my own in the early 70's i had no problem acquiring the best from the Brydekirk loft when my uncle passed away i would eagerly stand with ben on a rennes night watching the pigeons return and in the years that followed was fortunate enough to clock many a good pigeon on the night from 500 mls the pictures bring back so many memories of the narrow white washed loft containing so many champions ,sadly all but one of my aunts and uncles have passed on including my parents and bens dear wife jean but i still see ben and his brother william who both still stay in the village to this day although ben has not had pigeons for many years now ,he still calls to see me now and again and only last season picked out at an early age what was my best yb cock some things you never loose it seems I will contact ben tomorrow and am sure he will be ever so pleased on hearing of the re publication of those o so wonderful pigeons .

Sad to say but i feel that is our only way forward as no one seems to care about the homing pigeon .

Chris that was a good few years ago now obviously the person from your club that i asked to let his fellow members no did not ,it was very embarrassing on the night with only the three of us .

WET AGAIN

Was 2nd section gold cup many years ago beaten by less than two minutes and only getting 9 miles overfly from the winner when in fact you could not drive to his location in 50 minutes the winning pigeon was a class doo that had won previously and was owned by one of life's gentlemen but with the strong NW wind that night my bird was miles in front just beaten by location these are things that we have to accept and just get on with enjoying our doos .
