I have just finished basket training 12 later bred ybs in 2 baskets after 2 nights in basket I sat watching which ones took a drink a few times and then removing them i,m now left with 2 in the basket that still have not drank but they eat through the basket wire s but won't take a drink ? Can't do much more ,stupid creatures . Still think 28 birds is to many for ybs .

My biggest issue is birds in basket being crammed just to save £11 extra for another basket, plus I think the Geraldy basket should have no more than 26 or less so inexperienced birds have more chance to get to the water but it is always about money and can't see it changing

Some drop that ,well done

Well done Danny great result well in front .

11/15 got 2 within minutes of each other flown a long way but think they have also been down hiding .

Still 9/15 but one reported in gloustershire 200+most wrong way .

Still only 9/15 bit disappointed no more had the guts to go again .but still hope for more tomorrow . Out the ones I got only 1 went to the drinker first .

9/15 with Lanarkshire Hexham 98 mls not had any since 2.00 ,a bit tough but kind of expected as been on holiday and birds only had week to loosen up .

Personally was,st having a dig at you mate just a open comment , the way they come back from a bad race proves they are something special .

First class result Paul ,only admiration here not jealousy. But you're not telling us how you do it lol.

Spot on big man .

The state you get in at Blackpool you,d lose the *expletive removed* lol.

Lot of lofts around them the wind doe,st blow them to one loft . But yes wind helps us all .

Fantastic flying first 13 in fed against 3500 ish birds ,how do you do it ? So hard to believe one loft can get 13 before any other loft in fed ,fantastic . :emoticon-0137-clapping:

Some guys never got a pigeon liberation 15 mins after main convoy is plain madness and cruel.jmo

I can beat that lol, Got a yearling hen back yesterday lost at Kelso early season with a ets ring on, I don't have ets . Will sell you ring for a £1 lol

Big Tommy should be able to get it for you .

Well done Davy and Charlie

Davy Donaldson and jock Alston are the 2 distance lofts I have always wanted to visit since moving to the west both so consistent in the Nationals . Been to big Dels and that showed me how much I still had to learn about quality pigeons . Always admired Jim O,Hara now in fauldhouse & Jim Hannah but the list could go on . Oh sorry Walter Boswell to .

Hope it gets off the ground .

Why why would anyone want all these super lost birds for them selves if they can't get home to their home lofts"???????

I have had 22 stray ybs in here this year so far and maybe only half dozen have any kind of identification so that could be your reason why most don't get reported . 20/22 are back at their own loft and one is still here.

Surely a impossible velocity it must have got out when tam let his oot ,ONLY JOKING lol Well done ,one crazy race .

Cheers mate ,but just got it in and it's number is AV 800 ,eyesight no what it used to be lol

These 2 birds been in my garden since yesterday,think numbers are correct but not sure as they have not came in . Think the Lanarkshire bird is my own club Airdrie but can't be sure. Just to let guys know where they are . The Lanarkshire doo is 9970. Not 9956 sorry Jim .
