Don't think there was a race last year that club members did not report losses and this again was reflected in the number of birds going to the later races.I had one reported dead up on the moors (english side)we are flying through National Park areas guy out for a walk found it said your birds have no chance flying through here place is full of Percy.Devil if you do devil if you don't.Tim Hall told me last year when we were at Dunbar and Berwick our birds were flying through heavily populated percy country hence the reason he gave up the birds
