I WONDERED THAT MYSELF ANDY ALTHOUGH I GOT ALL MINE THIS WEEK THEY WERE SHATTERED I THINK IT HURT THEM AND I SAID TO MYSELF ANOTHER RACE OR TWO IN THAT SORT OF WIND AND THEY WILL START TO GO DOWN ,SO AS THE SAME IS FORCAST FOR THIS SAT AGAIN MINES GOIN NO WERE,I DONT NEED THEM TESTED THERE ALL OF CHANNEL WINNERS TO MY OWN LOFT ,I NEED THEM FOR 500 MILE RACING LATER WITH BETTER CONDITIONS I HOPE,MY OWN THOUGHTS ON THIS IS ANOTHER RACE OR TO LIKE THAT AND THEY WILL BE FINISHED FOR THIS YEAR, ANYWAY THATS NOT RACING THATS AN EDURANCE TEST,WE WER AT 175 MILE BY THE WAY 3RD RACE.

very good reply stb

so really in one word folks we are just throwing good birds away racing in single figure temps ,when will we even learn.

are all these losses because of climate change 4 seasons in one day or what other suggestions do we have for the losses its seems to be just getting worse surely it cant all be blamed on bops ,any bop it its right mind wouldnt be hunting yesterday to friggan cold.

thanks sapper ill do that

worst weather ive ever saw in 30/40 years for racing pigeons although i got mine all home many had birds missing 170 mile north easterly god help the birds ,really puts me off racing as it will take 2/3 weeks to get them up again and due to bad weather every weekday we cant train properly idont have a reserve team ,o and i work so if the morning is bad then no training for me somtimes i really wonder is it really worth it,i do really believe climate change is here to stay,today in northern ireland its that friggin cold in my garden my hands wer purple feeding the birds, any way good luck to all hope your birds way in.

well done chum keep it up

prob all 3 any many more especially amount of work needed ,training racing etc all these things is now an art which many cant master myself included really some one needs to be ther all day to work all these systems etc and some people have to work sucessful pigeon racing is now a full time job in my opinion.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

mount charles distance unknown as yet due to no measurements ,maybe 150 mile mark with the east down combine but due to bad forcast probably will not send,pity really but i wont be chancing them for a silly race ther will be plenty of better days ahead with races that matter.

more less as above but use granules ,dusty as hell but i still use them seem to keep birds clean and disease free ,but sometimes i wonder about it when the suns rays shine in really it coulnt be good for them or us.

10 members 282 birds 130 mile south

sorry to here all this from fellow site members,scotland must be hiving with the b..tards my heart goes out to you boys.

sheep dip

can be caused by being to warm, ive seen this many times in heated halls at shows etc its their way of cooling down.

ME TO ALF THE SAME AS YOU

was hoping on ten but times run out thats not happening now probably 3/4 due to weather, but will maybe miss first race and even the second well see.
