hi, i'm going to take 1 shed away but i already have 3 other's taking up nearly half the garden. so i gotta give a bit. i'm sure he'll get bored of it but until then i don't want to keep falling out with him.

this is what i'm trying strapper, i'll move them birds and he's told me on race days he put the hawk in his van out the way. normally it's locked in most days anyway and you would'nt know it's there.

hi guys, there's a local ruling here saying the birds should'nt be closer than 5 m from the house, so i'm in the wrong anyway, i put these birds in here because i did'nt have room for them in the stock shed and have been stupid/carried away buying other's when i have'nt got room. lot 1. w07n12619 cheq pied cock 15th open southwest one loft race 2007 bred by ken vokes from birds purchased from iddy davies x peter mcmahon. lot2. gb06d03462 dk grizzle cock jos thone/brian sheppard bought last year off mark james gloucester sire b05-5148948"diego del sumo" direct jos thone from half brother gerda+dtr sumo. dam direct brian sheppard from birds to score at nfc level on both sides. copy of jos thone+brian sheppard pedigree. lot 3. b05-4045795 cheq cock bought direct last year from c reybroeck+sons belgium. sire son of mr barcelona their 5 times barcelona champion. dam sister to "marseille 045" 33rd,59th,62nd,67th+140th marseille nat. +other's free with this cock w00s04231 blue hen cat/del fed bird of the year 2000. 20th+75th open wse nat. maidstone and ramsgate bred inland prizewinner's with another cock. giving her free with this cock cause of age. lot 4. gb06r39816 dk cheq cock dbl g-son of hadyn's superman sire to 3x1st nat adam+eve starbright. sire full brother to adam . dam half sister to adam. with this cock gb06x85001 dbl g-dtr of hadyn's superman. this pair cost me £250 last year. lot 5.gb06j35524 black wf hen bred by jimmy richards, concorde lofts . half sister to ebony louise ist bicc tours. sire w99t00804 son of hatrick queens cup winner 5th nat creiff,23rd nat. new pitsligo,1st nat,1st combine thurso. dam gb03l44347 dam to ebony louise 1st bicc tours .bred yb winner in 2007 lot 6. nl07-5727025 cheq hen van de wegan bred jaap van alphen holland, pedigree's all dutch, but it is a full one. free with this hen gb01x67454 dark pied cock van wanroy bred by ponderosa , g-son olympus contains kliene donkere both sides of pedigree bred prizewinner's with fauche bros hen but lost as yearlings. lot 7. gb03v08373 blue hofkens hen bred by ian axe, bred winners with 2 diffrent cocks,1st cock she was with bred club winner's 300+ birds upto 3rd fed 2,500+ birds. with the second cock bred upto fed sec winner 1,400+ birds. last year paired with another cock(lot 1.w07n12619) did'nt get to prove them last year, but i'm sure they would breed winner's together. the cock has a cracking eye for the eyesign guys. lot 8. gb04z60378 cheq hen fauche bros bred by cosworth stud. g-dtr of crack 50 pau international winner also g,g-dtr laureaat barcelona. cracking little hen lying about here doing nothing. a steal for somebody. lot 9. gb08a46180 blue pied hen bred by ray strawbridge,bought in acharity auction last year. i've no pedigree for it but ray told me it's out of the morgan+cooke birds. another cracker i have'nt got room for. lot 10. w07s06348 cheq pied hen flew europa programme 2007. winning nearly £500 in the third hotspot 54th, also 28th second hotspot, but was late in the final race. full brother was 14th open europa classic 2006, also had a 28th in one of the hotspot races. busschaert x arden. also another same way bred flew channel challenge one loft race finishing 51st. in the main race. all lots to start at £25 except lot 4 which has to start at £50 . i'll leave it run for 1 week today. so finishing time 18th feb 6.00 pm . thanks

he don't use it for hunting,only got it to p88s me off after we had a argument 1 day about his son squirting the hosepipe over the loft while i was waiting for the birds .

i'll write the list out then post them this evening. i'll get photo's tomorrow.

hi john, it's a harris hawk. he told me, if i get rid of the loft by the house(in all fairness it's only about 5ft from is house) he'll put it away on race days. so i got to keep the peace.

i've asked to join the seller's part , i have'nt been told i can, so i won't jump the gun. thanks

none have been bred off this year either, i have'nt paired up yet.

to show i'm not trying to rip anyone off, i will let you have them on loan first and if you don't want them/ no good i'll take em back. i can't get any fairer than that.

hi lenwadebob, with also losing my job,which was one of the best payer's in the area, i think it's best just to stick with what i got left. if i left em in some body else's garden they be swapping the eggs.lol

hi guys, the guy next door to me(the one with the hawk) as made a complaint because one of my stock sheds is to close to the house, to stop the arguing and to stop him from putting the hawk out in the garden on race days(i could only send to 1 young bird race last season because of this) i have agreed to move the birds from there, but i've nowhere else to put them and have lost my job recently, so i would like to sell them on here. i am willing to give 15% of what they make to the site, to do with what ever they wish. the birds will consist of 5 pairs and 4 hens,all bar 1 will have a pedigree. i was thinking of a auction running for a week. what are your views on this. thanks yours in sport adrian boulter. ps. some are proven breeders but a lot a new birds i bought last year.

i origanally voted for the 450 to get more people involved, but i would favour the over 500 mls event. my choice is going to be bergerac 514 mls. and i won it with a yearling last year.

i've seen the smell thing mentioned, and i've also seen things about other animals seeing things in diffrent colours, but not the colours changing as they're moving along. the pigeons have excellent eyesight(much better than ours) but they must see the things in same amount of detail as we do, they instantly recon. diffrent types of corn/grit/birds . which to me say's everything they see is crystal clear, and in hi-defanition. we can all be scientists of a sort. very interesting subject.

is that serious? looks crap, why's the sky changing colour and why's all the cloud highlighted?. i think somebody's put that on for a laugh. i can't believe they see things like that, how are they able to pick out certain seeds from thousands of other's in that mode,everything would be a blur .

i'm thinking about it wayne, should be plenty of quality for the distance.

it's the same pattern every time, so you start to remember which way to go.

33.758 now

21.912 is my best so far had about 7/8 goes also had 18.607 .

all my yearlings are flown roundabout, when it's time to part them any that have not had young, go without . it does'nt seem to bother them. last season i had yearlings win that had raised young and other's win who had'nt.

my clubs 2 longest races last season(which i think will be the same this season) is bergerac 514mls+tarbes613mls(i won't be sending yearlings here). i will also have bordeaux493mls with the bbc .
