Racing Conditions post 31st July 2006 I mentioned in the last report that I was awaiting clarification form DEFRA on the licence conditions post 31st July. The licence has stated that it will be revoked on Monday 31st July 2006. DEFRA has duly responded with the news as I understood it. They currently do not know enough about the likely risks of disease moving towards Britain in the autumn migration period but on the basis of ornithological advice, those risks could begin to escalate from August. It is therefore intended to take a precautionary approach from 1st August and revert to a general licence which permits domestic pigeon racing but prohibits racing from outside of the British Isles. A final decision will be taken nearer the time in case of any risk changes. However, we should work on the assumption that there will be no races from outside of the British Isles after 31st July (including those in September). Domestic races can continue for the time being but may also be curtailed if the disease situation deteriorates. The situation will be constantly under review in the light of what happens in the autumn and I will of course keep in close contact with DEFRA to ensure that we have some continuity from the old bird into the young bird season.

The post I put up is the latest from Peter Bryant and will be in BHW View From the Reddings this week

This 7 day isolation We have taken many calls and e mails about the licence condition regarding the 7 day isolation period. The licence condition is simple. If you race from the continent then any bird arriving back at the loft within 48 hours of the release must be isolated for a minimum of 7 days from return to the loft, not 7 days from the basketing. This period increases to a minimum of 3 weeks if the pigeon is delayed beyond the 48 hours from release. So, in a nutshell, at the very least, you cannot race the same bird the following week if you have raced from the continent. As has been remarked it is down to the individual to be honest and above board on this and club officials should not be put in the position of having to accept birds otherwise. DEFRA has advised that if there is any breach of the licence conditions, by individuals or organisations, they would invoke the enforcement provisions of section 75 of the Animal Health Act 1981. This means that on conviction, the punishment for each offence would be either a fine of up to £5,000 or imprisonment for up to three months. Nuff said!

Going to send Three 2 Hens & ! Cock then keep my fingers crossed. Good luck to all who send.

Wont be just racing from overseas that is stopped if someone breaks the rules all racing could be stopped,as for the question if you are beaten by a bird you know was over the previous week well you do object and the fancier concerned should be banned as he aint only jeapordising his sport but that of the whole country. All club Sec should be checking the race sheets now every week.

Fair play to the team they won the game without being great,but still no time for the commentators wisnae too bad wi the sound switched off.

Eggs should have hatched after 18 days if they were full obviously abandoned tham as they werent gonna hatch anyway so I would put them in the bin and clear away the nest and discourage them from nesting on the balcony again.

Maybe a raptor ar maybe not. Youngsters do some funny things. Hope they arrive home tday
