hope you havn't forgotten my birds Mick!

Yes Dave, his sire was what i'm lead to beleive was the only son of Stampson (or similar) to come to this country. The pic was taken when he was 11yrs old

prob got a dk red and a mealy in the nest then.

looks like you've mastered the art of posting pics DJW, good luck with them! Phil

This has been one of the best reds to grace these lofts!

Takes a good eye to pick a good bird! How is Amanda? :P

whats the red?

you got something to go?

where are the birds going from and where in Ireland are they heading?

Don't worry Chrisss, its just another Leighton / Jackson appretiation thread!

wheres the auction being held?

can you make one with perspex lid/landing breadboard?

I don't recall seeing any propositions for the RPRA agm that would change the way the pads should be located. If i missed them then the results of the voting have also been published.

It does comply, when the bird enters the sputnik it is then within the confines of the loft. Once fitted to the front the sputnik forms part of the loft!

depending on how old they are the dark beak/feet is likely to be a dark colour and the pale beak/feet could be a pale colour, gay pied etc. What colour are the parents?

very good, and I like the way they've added you into the pics!

As most old school fanciers did, no antibiotics used in his loft!

I remember meeting Joe, a great guy, somebody must still have some of his birds but i think its a few years since i've seen any.

Like Paul says it takes a long time to cure and will be interesting to see how your birds are after treatment. What aftercare did your vet prescribe?

lovely birds, do you still have them?

correct

well done Gemma, whose birds did you hyjack?

with the cost of fuel it could take off again! With ets it would be easy!

Wiley, as you know the LNRC is relatively a small area with majority of birds coming down the M11 coridor! There are still very good fanciers in east and north london, consiatent flyers like the Chalkleys, Gordon Thorpe, Woodo, Vic Shaw etc etc

we try new birds most years, mostly youngbirds first to see how they compare with our own. If they are what we want then we'll look forthe right stock. Also bring in the odd stockbird to improve the bloodlines. Never stop looking for something to keep you moving foward.
