hawked again

Update on the two strays. Barry has collected both birds and will deliver Paul's on Friday. He has also organised for the P doo to be liberated around Edinburgh on Friday. Thank you very much for all your help Barry. Jim

Thanks Dave, the NE doo will not be going on the transporter as it belongs to Paul Thomson but when it leaves here I will ask them to also take the P doo so that you can liberate it. Yes I'm on the mend now thanks. All the best, Jim

Hi Paul, Barry said he is coming to collect it tomorrow after work and take it to Elgin as I thought it belonged to someone in Fraserburgh. Can you contact Barry tomorrow to organise things please. I'd run it through to you tomorrow morning but I'm not long out of hospital so am not aloud to drive for another week and a half. Very best regards, Jim

The NE doo is being collected tomorrow to be put on the N of Scotland transporter. I can ask if they could do the same with the P doo and ask them if they can liberate near Edinburgh. I hope that helps. Jim

I'll get in touch with one of the Inverness lads Robbie and ask them to put on the transporter. Jim

I've not been on here for a long time Paul, just came on to report a couple of strays. I've only looked at one race result and there you are, first again, well done and thank you very much for all the help you gave me. You're a true gentleman, bless you. Jim

Both in Inverness and in good nick. Jim

A wee blue, came in with mine yesterday, in very good condition. Any takers? Jim

Only one bird arrived by clocking time. Winner, Ronnie Murray with a velocity of 533.570m. Well done Ronnie, Jim

Well done Mouse. Great performance. Jim

I couldn't read Elgin's velocities from the thumbnail but it's looking like Mouse has done very well.

Well done Mouse, I'm hoping there's a good West Fed position for you today. Fingers crossed.

Well done Barry and everyone else. Jim Thornton OB 30042016.doc

Thanks again. Jim

There was very few returns for Easter Ross yesterday. The fastest bird took three hours or more to cover about seventy miles. Don't know about the East side but the weather in Inverness was bright, clear, dry and a very light Westerly wind. Jim

Hi BWF, Blue SU 15NE1118 belongs to me did it go on the lorry? Thank you for looking after and reporting it? Jim

Well done Mouse. Glad your returns were good as well. Jim

Well done Barry.

Well done Barry.

And 12th in the West Section, well done Stewart.

P Member Clocked 1 B Duncan 14:09:24 2 B Stewart 18:43:56 3 B Duncan 19:00:34 Well done both Brians.

Carlton - 741.86ypm Stewart - 674.65ypm Ronnie - I don't know his arrival time, if you do, his distance is 203miles 1002yds. Hope that helps. Well done all that timed. My first trainer was more than an hour after Stewart and still three AWOL. Jim

Sorry to hear that Barry. As you know I tend to keep mine in till they're a few months old, some times two or three disappear for two or three days then appear again. It's a good learning curve for the returners. I only have nine this year and they were about four months old when I finally let them out, one was AWOL for the best part of a week but returned again. Hope you get them back, I've seen none amongst mine.
