it was leaking on tuesday but after cleaning the tear and leaving him for 48 hours he is on the mend and the leakage is practically stopped, these creatures are amazing how they manage to heal!!! if only humans were the same?? john

NORTH OF SCOTLAND FEDERATION we are at perth this week 90 miles 602 yards to my loft in buckie ( buckie & district rpc ) John

Just sent my birds for a quick training toss on tuesday about 15 miles, weather conditions were perfect hens and cocks both back & in the loft in good time with the exception of one dark cheq cock, 5 hours later he appears and to my disgust his crop is torn open and his under carriage damaged he wont be racing again this year, he was my first bird home from the race on saturday only missing out on taking the red card by a decimal point ending third, never seems to happen to birds you dont have confidence in does it??? john

well my whole team will be going 24 hens 23 cocks on saturday, regardless of weather, thats why we put trust in our race controller and convoyer, and we are lucky to have two good lads davie hay and davie barrie in that roles john

easterly or south easterly is usually better for us in the west side of our federation ( north of scotland ) its one of the few opportunities for west section guys to top the federation, north easterly not so good as the wind is generaly cooler and the birds dont seem to like?? either way regardless of wind direction the birds go, if they are fit and healthy that is? i work offshore approximately 135 miles east of montrose and when ever i see westerly winds of any significence we always have lots of pigeons on the rig with us, johnnie

cheers paul
