Well done to P Sherman on winning the West Section.

Barry I have an app on my phone called racing pigeon speed. You can calculate velocities and during the period of the race it gives you a live count down Velocity. It is very good. Paul.

I read in a book that some twitchers call Great Tits Dolly Partons. Thought it was very funny 😂

Dolly Partons Stuart?

Cocks have been flying for an hour and 20 mins but only because a peregrine was here soon after they went out and a sparrowhawk had a go at them as they came in to land. They have now fcukd off and who could blame them. Normally mine will fly for 20-25 mins in a batch then land a start striking of in ones and twos and I leave them doing that for half an hour. Hens have been hit or miss (more miss than hit).

Didn't see that one coming.

Well done again Ryan ðŸ‘

Well the b@stard thing is still on the go here. Let my ybs out 20 mins ago and something came out other the sky at a unbelievable speed as the ybs just lifted off the roof. I ran round to to next Street and it was on a yb in a neighbour's garden and the yb was stone dead. It must have killed it instantly on impact. I have been having bother with this one taking them out if the sky. I thought it was a peregrine the speed it was going. It is getting worse and worse every year. I am sick of it.

Ryan you are right I think it is a state of mind. The birds are comfortable flying round the loft but take them away and they are not comfortable and put in more effort to get home from training. It is a bit like footballers you can train for weeks but match fitness is completely different

It shouldn't matter if you have an AB or IV postcode. Do you think it is acceptable that the Highlands get ripped off but not acceptable in Aberdeenshire is that what you are inferring?

Well done Ryan ðŸ‘

Still on the go up here Robert. They tend to go down when the trees are in full leaf so they have cover. Still another couple of weeks on high alert for me.

Scrape the mould off.......it will be ok toasted.....eh

Young birds here for him if he wants them. Feel for the guy it would devastate me. Hope he hangs in there.

The sparrowhawks are adapting David they are hitting them in the sky here all the time. It is a nightmare rescuing them from streets away from sparrowhawks and they haven't been out of the sky. If it wasn't for the crows I would never find them.

Brilliant Archie, here's a few more: Tommy Cooper Jokes I can picture him saying these jokes Two Aerials meet on a roof - fall in love - get married The ceremony was rubbish but the Reception was Brilliant. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Man goes to the docs, with a strawberry growing out of his head. Doc says, "I'll give you some cream to put on it." -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Doc, I can't stop singing the green green grass of home." "That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome." "Is it common?" "It's not unusual." ------------------------------------------------------------------- A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. "My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?" "Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him" So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says, "I'm going to have to put him down." "What? Because he's cross-eyed? " "No, because he's really heavy" -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Doctor, I can't pronounce my F's, T's and H's." "Well you can't say fairer than that then" ------------------------------------------------------------------ Two elephants walk off a cliff...... boom boom! --------------------------------------------------------------------- So I went to the dentist. He said "Say Aaah." I said "Why?" He said "My dog's died." --------------------------------------------------------------------- So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?' And a voice said "You are." ------------------------------------------------------------------- So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said 'Is that the local swimming baths?' He said 'It depends where you're calling from.' --------------------------------------------------------------------- So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.' --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin. --------------------------------------------------------------------- So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. And then he rang up a second time and said 'You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree. And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I said 'I careered off the road.' --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, most dentists' chairs go up and down, don't they? The one I was in went back and forwards. I thought 'This is unusual'. And the dentist said to me 'Mr. Cooper, get out of the filing cabinet.' -------------------------------------------------------------------- So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me "Can you give me a lift?" I said "Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it." --------------------------------------------------------------------- Two cannibals eating a clown. One says to the other "Does this taste funny to you?" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off. --------------------------------------------------------------------- You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen; it said 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- A man walked into the doctors, The doctor said "I haven't seen you in a long time" The man replied, "I know I've been ill" --------------------------------------------------------------------- A man walked into the doctors, he said "I've hurt my arm in several places" The doctor said, "well don't go to those places" --------------------------------------------------------------------- I had a ploughman's lunch the other day. He wasn't very happy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I bought some HP sauce the other day. It's costing me 6p a month for the next 2 years. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Two blondes walk into a building..........you'd think at least one of them would have seen it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Phone answering machine message - "...If you want to buy marijuana.............press the hash key..." ------------------------------------------------------------------- I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks are too high." --------------------------------------------------------------------- My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in. --------------------------------------------------------------------- A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I know you can't, I've cut your arms off". --------------------------------------------------------------------- I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. They lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van covered with hundreds and thousands. Police say that he topped himself. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other "Your round." The other one says "So are you, you fat slob!"

Chris if you want some ybs give me a shout if am sure I could sort you out with a few.

That is a lot Chris. I have only had one broken this year. My guess would be you have a rogue cock going into boxes and causing havoc. Need to find out who it is. Paul.

Sad news. A great player who will always be remembered for that great goal in Lisbon.

Disgrace I hope they get relegated!

Looks great mate well done 🖒

Well done Ryan ðŸ‘

Some great performances Ryan and already breeding winners. The future looks bright.

Brilliant 🖒
