here is angus simpson phone No 01578718643

there was a post started by myself on 26th july under scottish feds think all scottish feds responded to this tried to get the english feds to do same but got no response

midlothian fed otterburn 57mls

at present I dont think it matters where you go now these damm things are everywhere its down to the luck off the draw

midlothian flew longtown last year with our youngbirds think we flew it 3/4 times and had good returns maybe the problem is not the race point but what the birds are encountering further up road

never a truer word said

at the end of the day I couldna cara less whether pentland lose birds or not I look after my own fed and I dont want to see any fed loseing pigeons so this compareing between feds should stop we are all in the game of pigeon raceing and we dont want to see anybody loseing pigeons whether it be pentland or midlothian

pentland disna lose birds lol

your not far wrong on that respect with unhealthy birds

birds back at otterburn

In my own opinion I think there are 3 things contributing to the raceing we are all experiencing this season 1 weather which has been very unpredictable 2 the amount of peregrins that are about which is getting worse 3 solar activity we are at present at what they call solar max which happens every 11 to 13 years and at present there is a lot of activity from the sun hitting earth jmo

If the fife boys think back last year your 1st young bird race from kelso was much the same you seem to get it all the time from there think you should think of changing your race point stobs camp would be a better line for fife pigeons but dont think you would get an artic in there jmo

I would like to appologise to the members of midlothian fed for not getting a race at the weekend but I could only go with the forecast that I was being presented with which completily changed over the coming hours I will try and not let this happen again unless I get a forecast telling me that there is 100 per cent no chance of a race then the pigeons will be going to the race point at the end of the day I try my best to give everyone good raceing with hopefully good returns as always my priority is the welfare of the pigeons first peter calder race controller midlothian fed

as was decided at agm young birds revert back to previous race point next week will be otterburn

that is the first time the system I use has let me down they forget the times when it has been more or less spot on but what is done is done move on now . Ialways put the welfare of the birds first. but I will have a proposal fof agm so It wont happen again but hope they have deep pockets when it comes to holdovers

make one mistake on this job and you are condemmed to the hilt no worth it . you want the job eric .god help the birds

I will accept that andy but could only go by the forcast I was recieving but did not materilise
