Good man, a tweek here and there and everyone's happy.

Well done to all the Whiteford family, your getting the rewards for your efforts, keep it up.

I have a pair of Pencil blues paired together, 1/2 bro/sis mating. The sire of these, when paired to his own dghtr (black hen) bred a chocolate young bird last year. I got a Chocolate out of the 1/2 bro/sis mating this year. Some say its not possible to breed a Choc from 2 blues, i say it can only have come from they 2 birds and the Pencil in both ck & hen must have influenced the colour. What do you guys think of this?

Not that i'm troubling the judge much the now, i've been flying a SORT OF roundabout system. I only do this to make sure i get the 1st 5 races into as many birds as possible. There have been 6 pairs or so still in beside the ck's all yaer so thats why i say SORT OF. Left them together last weekend to re-pair for the last 7 races + SNFC Nationals. Never done me any good today !!

Glad to see new members, seems to be a daily routine just now :) Join in and get the most from the site Rockyhard.

Expect another couple will show before dark, I'm no down about it i just take it on the chin and carry on. Seen it all before. Better to worry about those still there!

Ive got 10/38 to come from Bubwith (182mls)

No in 'til 13.10 ma self, and i'm still waiting on 10/38, not exactly a good day for me!! Ma 1st doo will be doing 1087.85, but the winners will be doing 1150+ i reckon. Not too far from what Gareth predicted this morning, you'll need to let me know what your system is for guessing the eta's

So much for dreaming about an early one and good returns, i got a dissy on both fronts!! :rolleyes:....... A well there is always next week, thats the beauty of the doos, ther's always next week or next season

You ever tried to loop one? Set out some cord or better still fly fishing line in a loop of about 8" on the grass and place feeding around it, the bird must step into the loop to eat, then strike like you were catching a fish when it does, the loop lassoo's the doos foot and you pull it to you. Its not the easiest way but if you get it right your sure to catch it.

Sorry John, i'm just gettin your message the now. All the best anyway, cheers.

too

Have no fears Jim Hannah is onto that, he'll be in touch with those above us first thing.

Im really looking forward to the morra, hoping for an early one and good returns, same as every other week really! :D

I fancy they could do 1300 again, don't be getting caught out! Best of luck to you and George.

Don't leave an ounce of strength on the pitch, and i'm sure you'll win. All the best.

EVERLASTING

I'm getting reports that the birdage will go close to lasts weeks numbers of over 7000 birds. Also looking good for an early start. The 1st message will be left on the lib line before 8am, would hope to be able to give a pointer to the lib time, if they're not away before then.
