  1. Feeling your pain guys, Last year we had 6 attacks before the hen hawk was down on eggs, this year we didn't breed early young birds and waited until February before letting them out and so far fingers crossed all good, but every time we walk down the back door we are expecting a hit, the closer to them going down on eggs the higher the risk of an attack. A couple of weeks should see us free for a while. Not holding my my breath.
  2. I was talking to my brother and he said it is the same guy we spent about 2 hours talking to when at the Olympiad, if it's the same guy he is from Malta.
  3. Good luck guys especially the snfc entrants
  4. South Lanarkshire must have a big transporter?a
  5. When at the Olympiad this year we were talking to a couple of fanciers from Malta and they were telling us about Eddie in Malta, RIP.
  6. A lot of far more clever men than me have studied Mendel's theory of hereditary, but no one has came up with a formula for breeding champion racers or breeders of champion racers based on the theory. The old adage is best to best, I think for sprint to middle distance you have a better chance of them breeding direct winners, but for the 500 plus races then they probably won't breed winners, but when you do breed a winner you will probably look back and find the best to best pair in the pedigree. But many roads lead to Rome.
  7. There is only one winner here and it's not us I'm afraid, the more we highlight the issue the more isolated pigeon racing will become, JMO

  9. They look great, all the best
  10. Nothing on the web site ??
  11. If the whole West does lib together down the West, it would be great if we could joint lib with the Solway and or any other feds en route to give the birds the best run at it and to minimize the window of opportunity for percy.
  12. This has nothing to do with me but all the comments are from people who are against it, who voted for it and what's your response to all the above concerns? If the west has as many bop as the east then pigeons couldn't have influenced it as most of Scotland has flown the east for years. Or am I wrong?
  13. He comes across very well and he knows his stuff, an eye opener and food for thought.
  14. Just watched this, a good educational video, which shows many roads lead to Rome, but again it's the blood that matters.
  15. A great night, great meal, and Davie was on top form with his very honest answers to many constructive questions, and his wit and jokes were brilliantly executed.
  16. Very professionally done, just like there pigeon racing.
  17. Well done
  18. Looking Great, if you can race as good as you can build lofts you will do great, all the best for 2017.
  19. Outstanding performance by van the man
  20. Sorry to hear this John, for nutrition maybe try a syringe full of maybe baby milk full of protein and calcium etc.. ? time to heal is the key here. Keep bathing the eyes. Good luck with her.
  21. Yes, it's an east thing, lol see you there.
  22. Me and him and a couple of others, lol Morris Bros
  23. We are going.
  24. 100% agree Robert, I wouldn't be sending to BedHampton as prep for the gold cup but if it was a fast race and a bird took it well , I might consider sending it. That's what makes a doo man.
  25. We don't usually Jag until just before the season starts, I will speak with David, maybe a good shout to do it now.
