get yourself down the club handle the lads birds the banter should be good and I'm sure the lads will learn you a trick or two we all started off with little knowledge
i belive that the blood sports groups etc will use the photos against us as in regards we know what will happen if we race them
not my views of course but we have seen how they twist things
but would not condem anyone that is trying
get a manikin that u see in a clothes shop stick it in the loft with a loft jacket on it for a week or two then take it out and always wear a the jacket while out with the birds
takes time mate the use of small seeds at dusk when the birds are settling down they are less likely to fly when it's getting dark i think the best way is to start when there young no good too you i know try to move slow around loft and have a little pinch of seed in your pocket that u can give to a bird on his perch
