Delbars Little Chequer was paired to a grizzle hen and in turn produced down the line the Super Grizzle for Berlengee (100% Delbar). The Golden Grizzles are stiil sought after especially in Germany.Thomas Peeters bought the Golden Grizzle hen which produced Champion Barcelona .the strain is apparent in Jos Thone's grizzles after all is Peeters not his father in law may be wrong but might be right.350 to 700 miles these birds will do if that is what you are looking for.
Pity it's a bit late as my son is due back tomorrow and it's approx 75 miles from Lemvig to Billund and he will be travelling from Arhus. Look on the bright side it's approx £85/95 return from Edinburgh to Billund depends how much the bird is worth to you.
I also live in the country and not so many years ago we would go up on the moors and cross through the field ducking and diving the Lapwing as we encroached their nesting area. This year I have not heard the distinctive "Pee Wee" let alone see oneanother old favourite on the brink. Well done RSPB, at least they must accept some of the blame with their blinkered concept of the countryside
The weather channel shows heavy rain for Sat up to 10am and rain right through to Sun evening. It suprises that the weather reports are so conflicting what chance do the poor controllers have.
The forecast for tomorrow showed very heavy rain across central England and high winds to boot hope it does clear hard enough without running into that
Does not only happen South of the border and Roland people who stay in "Glass Houses" should not throw stones with reference to remarks made about individual nationaltiies you have a cheek to talk
Maybe once the website is up and running we should be showing photos of the mutilation these birds carry out. A photo carries a powerful impact - just a thought
I will endorse what pigeonpete has just stated I met up with them at Chapelhall and found them to to be excellent ambassadors for our sport and also a big thank you to Chris (Vallance) for sending up the bird. All a credit to the sport
