Well done Bill, nice to see you're still flying well. Jim

Does anyone know how the Inverness birds flying with the Easter Ross club did?

I sent 19 trainers but am still waiting for 5, they made very good time though.

I had no doos away today but hope to put 20 trainers next week.

Well done Carlton and all that clocked. I also got all my trainers back and in good time too, 19/19.

It's a Buckie doo, call L Kowalozyk on 01542 833943.

Well done Ronnie.

It does, if it's just on one side the hawk's had it!

The doos flying into Inverness are that tough cats and sparrow hawks keep away from them and the Forres ones wear boots and take on Percy. LOL. We send them down to the Fifer for commando training every winter.

I know Michael had birds home but have been given no times for him. I sent 19 as trainers and managed to get them all home, many in good time. I can't open the Elgin result properly but from what I can see it looks like Paul also did fantastic racing with Elgin, a big well done from me Paul.

Well done Barry and Michael, you were racing into quite a strong west wind.

Not sure who the fifth flyer was, maybe like me they just sent trainers?

Well done Walter

Could you not do a voice call on Skype, record it and post it as a link? I don't know if what I'm suggesting is possible, someone on the site will be more technically minded than me so could give an answer. Jim

I'll donate a pair of 2015 YBs for the sale. Hope you reach reach the final aim. Thanks, Jim Thanks Jim Ian

My Grandson is nearly three months old and I've cuddled him nearly every day since he was 12 hours old. I always get washed first and take off my loft coat. He's come to no harm. Someone posted above about the harm of a sterile environment, they are quite right, all these new hand sterilisers are helping bu@@er our immune systems. GET YERSEL SOME DOOS!!!

Really good offer. If you build a loft on the submarine I'll supply you with some young ones.

I only get one delivery each year, I keep it dry and don't notice any problems.

I've been using them for about 5 years with no complaints. 3 burst bags last delivery which they refunded. You need to check the price by phone as the website prices are not updated as often as they should be.

Aye, their feet up.

There was 5 or 6 birds all having a go, so I assume 4 were buzzards and the other 2 the goshawks. Glad to see the back of them.

About 5 years ago the pair of buzzards to the South side of our house disappeared along with their 2 young ones as did the pair to our East. At the same time a pair of goshawks moved into the area. I assumed that a bird protection organisation had taken the buzzards to make space for the released goshawks as happened in the Black Isle to make space for the red kites. Buzzards eat baby red kites. About 6 months later the buzzards returned, had a massive fight in the sky just in front of our house and we were lucky enough to see the pair of goshawks heading South the following day, they have not returned yet.
