Got to say loft flying is becoming a no go.As percys at them as soon as they get going,then all hell breaks loose birds everywhere.So this evening taken the hens 12 miles road but as crow flies 7 miles for birds.Will go again tomorrow at 6am before work and try go again 6pm tomorrow evening.Like others say weather has been bitterly cold east winds at that,and if not blowing a gale its raining. We start this Saturday 82 miles,but going to leave at home and try and get the birds out to 40 miles,both cocks and hens 23 cocks 16 hens and 2 injured hens left at home theyre finished already for the season.So plan is to go to second race point at same race point.
