sun just starting to break through with high cloud and good visibility, going at 09.00 , next message to confirm will be 09.10

weather at lib site is as forecast, high cloud with really good visibility with a vey light n/w wind, looks decent right up the coast with some drizzle patches further west. forecast says that is what we will get all day so looking to go at 9 am but will confirm 08.50 approx 1400 birds which i believe is 300 more than last year so very promising birdage

basketing is going ahead as normal ( pick up times are on fed facebook page ) looking for a lib around 9am first message will be 08.30. 22 birds per crate and good luck to all for the season

Huge well done to both of you

Check fed Facebook page

Big welcome !! It certainly is never boring 😊

You poser

Fantastic haul,well done

Two of the most genuine and dedicated ranchers you are ever likely to meet,well done you two

Boris is a beauty and you have spoiled a good photo

Been out 9 times,attacked 3 times,one bird lost,an average start once more !!

Was down for a look today lee,very impressive, your excitement /anticipation levels must be rising

Beginning to look really good 👍

Gave them a very rough (my full knowledge) idea of what was needed

Does anybody ? 😀

Not too sure Ryan what is exactly needed,I phoned our local vet and said it was going to be a legal requirement and was quoted £140 but obviously not a group booking.

SOLDi have a 20 bird petron widowhood hen crate for sale as i have no further use for it, its in great nick apart from one missing water trough which may still be somewhere in my garage, sapper has kindly offered to put the photos on for me and as you will see it can also fold down for storage by removing 6 screws, i can deliver if needed to anywhere in north east scotland and i am looking for £300 or nearest offer. NOW SOLD THANKS

Struggling to see positives in conveying with another organisation but for those who are up for it the buzz at the home end on race day must be great !!

Cheers Ryan Think fed has only gone past 140 to here once in last 4years with ybs, if you were to join as a olr you would then have the right to put your birds every week but would need fed permission for separate libs,Could also suffer it birds taken back to a shorter distance due to weather,hope all works well for you but lots to be sorted before then

No plans myself so far,only ever tried once with the s h u and I was so successful I never tried again lol

Cheers Ryan If our fed approved the transportation of birds for the last 4 races then it's possible the longest race might only be 140/150 miles which I would think for a lot of fanciers might not be considered a hard enough test (just my thoughts) would the olr be joining our fed as a member or would a price per bird be applied ?

Hi Ryan How would you transport them for training and races and how far will the loft be from your home? And prize money allocation are my questions to start off this discussion

Makes me want to go on holiday lol

So sad to hear,one of the best,r.i.p. Dougie,condolences to all his loved ones

Arrived with one of mine at 9pm,think it's a West ender,I will lib tomorrow morning
