OLDYELLOW

can remember last years Sennen Cove race had 2 Irish birds in both reported and both cleared of there own accord some weeks after , i'd imagine they made there own way back home , was a weird day here on Saturday lovely start all be it a tad cold bright sunshine then 2.30 pm sea fret came over sun disappeared had loads of drizzle so birds were locked out by the weather with poor visibility , saw plenty of north roads heading down most of the day around 8pm i was watching the sky's and a batch of around 200 birds flew from west to east to the coast probably looking for coast to find a bearing , certainly strange especially as visibility was shocking , your always going to get a hard race when there's north and east in the wind and sunshine the sun heats up the cold sea and creates fret , still can't fault the race controllers as line of flight would of been fine at liberation , only thing i could fault is why do they liberate so late in France when 6.15 here would be 7.15 there so at least one hour of light wasted and birds in the heat longer enroute home

Tel: 01706 817459 Thanks on behalf of the owner and looking after this bird above is club where bird was registered to , although if sold could belong to someone else but quickest way is to ring above number

Hi thank you for trying to help this bird , your ring number should start NEHU ( year ) SUN 1288 , If you can give the bird some lentil mix or soup / broth mix or dried rice and perhaps some water with a bit of sugar dissolved in it it may clear unless injured

yup have heard of a few back down there , but there thin on the ground up here only heard of 4 so far

Pete Thorpe in at 8.05 this morning , I went to loft at 7.25am nothing in went to loft 8.24 am Bourge hen bred via my sellers cock was sat in heard of no other birds in club , this was a very tough race with many birds still missing , only reason birds are making it this morning is there's no east in the wind more direct north so there's no sea fret and drizzle , heard of no other birds into Scarborough than Petes and my one
