too many if,s , but,s , and maybe yet . if weather is poor most days yet its dry 5 am one morning ,thay may go out then ? etc etc . i can remember a "bad week" before rained Monday till Thursday almost non-stop ,i put them out Monday am ,and pm for them to fly only 10 minutes each time ,locked up all week .most tried theres out in the rain .i never let them out on a Friday , but this week it was good ,so kicked them out am ,and went out for the day .let in late afternoon ,basketed for a 168 mile race .most members had a lot missing at clocks , all mine homed fine .

have found the latter , having a dozen diffrent breeds and chancing to luck the best option. most the pedigree "bred from this and that" only bred "this and that" and have now gone .

morning TOOSHY , very grey and damp over this side pal

i was on the other side of the counter in Grannys Post - Office ................. helping myself

thanks for the reply , i often dont answer some posts in fear i will tempt fate . yes maybe a little more confidence in there breeding that they can do it

John do you think theres something to be learnt by this ?? un-flown birds facing this wind ,wheres as mature raced birds are not ??

South Wales .
