MY MATE GOT THESE 2 BIRDS IN TODAY.

famous last words.still 35/42

Lanarkshire, open your boundaries 500 yards and let me in.

35/42 Midland fed at Appleby. Plenty of time yet

Gasgow, I mean GLASGOW :B

Come on the Teddy Bears ;D ;D

correction, winning Midland velocity 1540

Your right, no question about the hawk problem.

Sensible thinking, once again by Glasgow fed

Why do convoyers not report these things.Longtown maybe a bad lib point if the birds arent clearing and surely communication is the key to successful racing.Too much cloak & dagger crap in the pigeon game.

Your spot on Gangster. The A74/M74 is a very scary place for our pigeons to be.

We should be convoying together anyway. Only politics stops us from doing this.

You might be right Bart.I had 6 doos timed in 5 seconds on clock.My returns were 21/21. Two totally different races

Midland fed liberated at 10.45 from Lockerbie, Lanarkshire liberated at 10.30 roughly 13 miles further .Both feds flying same route and most definately have met with each other on route but Midland fed birds doing 1600s velocity and Lanarkshire doing mostly 1200s.Why is this ??? PERCY STRIKES AGAIN.

Midland fed doing 1600s velocity and Lanarkshire doing mostly 1200s.Why is this when they are flying from the same area .PERCY STRIKES AGAIN

All birds eat different amounts.Give as much as they can eat and then take feeding away from them after an hour. This insures your birds will have the reserves they need in later races.

Definately a method I have used for my distance candidates before, but when your doos are right , they dont eat as much. Feeding a small amount, regularly helps combat this problem.

Good luck to you, what a difference when you fly down the east route mate.Better keeping away from those beattock hills
