there was an answer but the poster must have deleted it himself :-/wasnt a mod

had that in loanhead about the same time,,,but i wasnt frightened ,, ive just come out from under the loft now ;D ;D ;D [sunny july ;D]

good luck sapper

have a great holiday bart ,, thought that was snow at first ;D ;D ;D enjoy yourself

yes i understand that paddymac after speaking with you [real decent chap ] but who knows, might be a blessing in disguise ;D

dont think andy would agree with that ;D ;D ;D not with the lolly hes won ;D ;D ;D well time will tell andy :)best of luck ,im sure youll be there ,,,,again ;D

now that the o b season is about ended for some,, i wonder if theres any things that you wouldnt do again?,,,,,,,or things you think you should have done,,any mistakes learnt ,,,any tips learnt, im sure many would be interested , especialy for the novices[and indeed anyone ]

sorry to here that invincable,, but your health does come first ,,,,,,but happiness a close second , so lets hope things improve mate and wish you well ,whichever way you decide

i would feel sorry for the owner and the birds ,,,of any organisation , really a rotten thing to happen , lets hope its rectified , and he keeps his positions , after all its not really fair on the rest of the positions,,off course hell have the right of appeal , but could be a simple mistake,, so i think waiting on the proper outcome will give you the answer

PUT A SHEET OF PERSPECT DOWN WITH SOME TRAPPING SEED UNDER IT , THROUGH A HAND FULL ON TOP , YB,S WILL PICK AT THIS FOR AGES ,WHEN THE REST COME IN , THEY ALL CAN GET THE SAME TO EAT BUT THE LAST IN ONES IN , LET THEM HAVE A PICK AT" NOTHING" AT FIRST ;D

great stuff lads,, more of the likes of that would benefit all

brilliant pics ,, and the birds did look well

well done cass04 just hope you all get more through

what time are they up red flyer and at what lib? weather in the lothians [edinburgh] has been beautifull all morning [not so good f cast later ],, east wind this morning early now changed to n,w,,,,,,still nicenow at 11 45 am just noticed heading : time birds were up

thats right ben ;D ;D ;D hes only two years older than you,,,,,,,,,,,next birthday ;D ;D ;D,,,,,,,,,, think sams had the birds a long long time

dont get an inferior complex ,,,,,,,just send me a bottle ;D ;D ;D ;D [mind you , in my case probably two bottles ];D ;D ;D

ive had that b4 then all of a sudden started filling them ,, then after that just got the odd one full but the cock was 15 by that time , but about 12 when he stopped filling that year , even at 15 sometimes the two eggs were fertile

is their not fancy birds ,, carpet tumblers? that dont fly, but tumble over on the floor , think ive heard of them b4

i would remember that the moult of the primaries [the wing ] is very important ,once they are on their 5th flight their usualy over the hill, and preparing for a bodymoult. a pigeon usualy throws its first flight after sitting 12 days on its second round, so either mate up later, for the longer races , or go w,hood only letting them sit 8 days on second round eggs , the bird is usualy at its best with the second or third flight peeping through

probably a light mixture,, but it would be better if you could get an oap interested and do them for you

any thoughts on the outcome of the meeting by defra on tuesday ,,reported by peter bryant?

hi debbie, you can put mouse poison in the attic, but in the loft, i bought a little plastic gadget ,,from homebase [think its rentokill make] mice go in one end out the other , but pass through poison ,, birds cant get at it at all

very good of pete and jane salsibury,, for taking such a good pic,,the bird looks in decent condition, would be nice if the owner could spot it
