they seem to do it quick enough in the internationals

there must be computer programes were they could download each organisations results and produce 1 result

each organisation could have thier own sepperate result like they did with the dax international a couple of years ago using their own wagons and marking stations it would'nt be that hard to do even if they kept the results sepperate it would still give fancier's the massive birdage to race against

hi rose i've only been flying since 2004 but starting to get a team together now for the longer races i sent with the bbc this year and enjoyed it ,thinking of maybe joining the bicc+nfc next year and having a go at some more of the longer races ,got 1 from palamos(753mls) this year but out of race time i was chuffed and gutted at the same time but enjoyed it and am looking forward to trying again next year

pau is 599 mls to me in south wales and i'd send

could you imagine the faces on the continentels if we showed up for the pau international with 15/20,000 british birds :o

i agree you lplates it would be a good challenge if they had say 1 race a year were everyone went together that's how these continentels get birds doing big speeds over 700/800 mls from places like barcelona they send a load and a big batch of birds will cover the ground easier than a couple just look at the tour de france bike race a lone guy will often go off on his own early but the pack just trundle's along safe in the knowledge that later in the day closer to home they will catch him up then someone who's fresh from the batch will win . if everyone in britian entered a race from say pau they'd be clocking good birds up in scotland most years i think , then instead of reading about invincible spirit we're b reading about inv.haggis

and i'm led to believe it was a native bird of the british isle's some time in our past , is this true if so what happened to it?

hi eagleowl could you tell me what other countries in europe have a population of eagleowls and what problems those countries encounter because of them as i've never heard of any

this year i've got a few jobs around the loft to do , i've got to take 1 section off the old bird shed were i've had 1st round yb's and remove a small shed were i've had the 2nd round and build a new shed for yb's as it's to much trouble on race day's going after birds in 2 sheds

our yb season(if you can call 5 races a season) went ok we fly em natural ,won first 3 races then the darky's took over, if only the yb season started in may .returns were ok apart from 1 race when we lost 14(that was due to the weather), started the season with 39 ended with 20

welsh south road 3 races to go

did anybody go and watch the birds returning today(3rd hotspot) and if so what were returns like

looking through the thread i think rose is the closest so well done , i had a go at guess the time at europa today and was way out(around 7hrs)

i see 1 of those tits made it into the prize money lol well done

when would you like em pete , early jan/feb

we was 28th with a venturer bird

welsh south east combine are at ramsgate , welsh south road fed at littlehampton

overcast in swansea, vis is about 1 mile

we've got 3 init goodluck to everyone let's hope they have a tidy race

21 left from 39, lost 14 at 1 race 3 weeks ago and not lost 1 since, it's a funny old game

1 of the best pairs in my breeding loft both birds have bull eye's how would you evaluate them?

no doubt they'll say they're sorry for what happened but they can't do anything about it

if you'd be happy to try a couple of our's pete , we'll send you some, what dist?
