thurso birds??? ive seen a couple of big batches in excess of 40 heading south just within the last ten mins,maybe thurso birds?? im on the morayshire coast ssw wind here so could be a long day for you lads waiting on thurso birds, good luck

i agree just a combination of the above, also the weather i would say has an effect on loosing ybs??

david a lady in iverurie called me earlier saying she had a bird in her garden a ne doo with a white clip ring on the other leg, possibily one of yours?? john

well lads thats 22 worked back now, n by god they look tired!! judging by the comments everyone has had a poor time of it, heres hopin we can get some more home, i got a young mealy in on thursday night su 10 ne 3009 elgin doo gan by the book let up in elgin on friday tea time just for the record dont toss the birds near findochty & portknockie perigrines all along the cliffs there

oh aye, believe me i was fearing the worst yesterday?? even considered calling it a day despite wining the old bird averages in the club!! so disheartening, better kind now

i didnt put the birds up till 1pm plenty time for the thurso birds to clear, 19 worked back up too now so not as bad as 1st thought but bop tell tell signs there tear marks on back & punctures on crop!!!

thats 19 worked back the day so not as bad as ist thought!! but the tell tell signs of bop attack as one of the grizzles has the hallon marks n a couple of tears on the back!! time for the 12 bore gettin fed up of being a vet!!!

waited till the thurso birds were clear before putting them up & no other feds were up in this area

cheers david, ive managed to get 19 back today so its not as bad as first feared but the tell tell signs are there with a grizzle torn bop trade mark, amazed they worked back after the weather yesterday afternoon & evening + a strong north westerly in their face today, wouldnt surprise me if they were mine!! so did you get just 7 back then

there is that possibiliy ther were 4 or 5 feds up there yesterday, iwaited before heading off to try & avoid them clashing,later in the day the weather closed in and was very poor, lovely today so hope they can work back
