Mine were on the Newmains van Jim , first time on it and i'm still 3 short at 1.30pm, early ones came in 3 batches before 12 but none since

Squeaky Bum time George, ATB with your time and returns

Tried to contact a Mr M Maine from Aberdeen Silver Circle club but no answer, anyway i have a young Grizzle hen of his SU 11 9515 i will put it through the stray centre for him on Friday. Lovely hen i'm sure he'll be glad to see it.

Well done Lee, must be great to get one in an international race Ps. well done to the others who timed too

Just back from another 15 miler, only 3/25 on the loft when i returned. Think the rest must have gone touring

I gave mine their first 2 tosses today, 15mls this morning and again at 5.30pm with no casualties, BUT I KNOW THEY ARE COMING!!!

Whilst i get as angry as the next man about the BOP i would lose my job if i was took to court ACCUSED of killing them, there are very many others who's livelihoods would also be affected if they took Direct action against the BOP so we are between a rock and a hard place. The SHU have imo spent plenty of money and man hours getting support through proper channels and have indeed got an MP to raise the subject in Parliament, this did not make the slightest difference because we are by FAR the MINORITY when it comes to this issue and until that can be changed and we get other LARGER organisations on our side we are not going to get any success dealing with the Bop.

Aye i'll do that in the morning, was just giving out info in case it is a PB members doo

Bump

This doo came in this morning, anyone know who's ring it is??

I can get ma self worked up tae so i know how he feels

Bet it was sweeter than strawberries when it landed fae the race

Jimmy Dalgleish won Falaise with a Mealy a couple of years ago, not a Red but red based just the same.

It might not be parasites causing this behaviour, it could be moulting that causes them to groom themselves.

I have a 50ltr water tank with Garlic bulbs in it, change the garlic when it has either withered or grown stems. Occasionally heather honey when i can get it Free of charge

Every cloud has a silver lining, mine on this occasion is the 2 Yb's in the nest he was racing to are doing well with the hen on her own This is the Ck with the hen earlier in the season.

I suspect the Dundonian is Clockman, the mood he's been in lately

Didnae even need to go Rab, i dropped 3 out, that a widnae have missed, just to send him and he had already scored in the Ypres race too, that just makes me more annoyed way ma self

A surprise ma self some times

Sent a yearling Ck to the SNFC Clermont race and had it reported early today, the gist of the call was he was in a bad way ( not injured just exhausted) but the vet would be looking at him and i was to call tomorrow to arrange a Courier. I was delighted to be getting him back too, however the Vet phoned about 5.30pm and said despite a steroid injection he was a certainty to die before morning so he put it down. Gutted about this, as he wasn't on my original pool sheet to go but i changed it at the last minute to include him.!!

Thanks for the welcome lads, especially KB's inimitable post, as always! I hope you's all behave in a fashion that negates the necessity of intervention by any of the moderators, who are all reasonable and open minded men, with the best interests of the Best Pigeon Site available.

Ye better have Nescafe in this year and nae excuses and a wee spoon fae o coffeemate widnae dae any herm either

i Sent the first 3 doos in the clock from Ypres this year to the Clermont race. Never seen a feather yet!!

Very bad luck Charlie i hope they appear tomorrow, the ones that do will be hard to lose after this.

I'm sure i recently seen birds sprayed with this Paint, it was Spanish fanciers that were doing it I'm sure, though they had Multi coloured doos that identified who it belongs to.
